South Alabama Jaguars
South Alabama's recent trajectory has been disappointing, highlighted by a 52-38 loss to North Texas. Quarterback Gio Lopez has shown promise with 432 passing yards and three touchdowns, but his inconsistent accuracy is a concern. The offense needs to find a rhythm against a disciplined Troy defense. Despite a strong running game in Week 1, the defense has room for improvement after allowing 52 points. South Alabama is currently ranked 13th in power rankings, with strengths in offense but weaknesses in defense, holding a record of 0-1 this season.
