What to Know

The Georgia Southern Eagles are 6-0 against the South Alabama Jaguars since November of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. Georgia Southern is on the road again Thursday and plays against South Alabama at 7:30 p.m. ET Oct. 14 at Hancock Whitney Stadium. These two teams are looking to take out their frustrations on one another after having lost close ones recently.

It was a hard-fought game, but the Eagles had to settle for a 27-24 loss against the Troy Trojans last week. The losing side was boosted by WR Khaleb Hood, who punched in one rushing touchdown.

The Georgia Southern defensive unit accumulated four sacks for a loss of 24 yards. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.

Speaking of close games: the Jaguars fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Texas State Bobcats last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 33-31. No one had a standout game offensively for South Alabama, but they got scores from RB AJ Phillips and TE Lincoln Sefcik.

Georgia Southern is expected to lose this next one by 3. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The losses put Georgia Southern at 2-4 and South Alabama at 3-2. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Eagles are 249th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with 20 on the season. The Jaguars have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 154th most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up seven on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
