#106 ASA PLAY ON Jacksonville State -4.5 over Western Kentucky, Friday at 7 PM ET - These 2 just met last weekend @ WKY with the Hilltoppers pulling out a 19-17 win on a 50 yard FG as time expired. Western Kentucky rank 23 more offensive snaps in the game yet still needed a long FG with seconds remaining to get the win. WKY had everything to play for in that game needing a win to make it to this week’s CUSA Championship game while JSU was already locked into this game so not a ton to play for last week. Even with that, Jacksonville State outgained WKY 5.5 to 5.1 YPP. The Gamecocks completely dominated the ground game, as expected, rolling up 229 yards rushing on 5.9 YPC to Western Kentucky’s 105 yards rushing on 3.0 YPC. Now that JSU has everything to play for (a CUSA Championship) we see those numbers being even more lopsided this week. They rank 3rd in the nation in rushing averaging 257 YPG on 5.6 YPC and facing a Hilltopper defense that allows over 200 YPG rushing (123rd nationally). We need to keep an eye on Jacksonville State QB Huff who was banged up in last week’s game but all indications are he’ll play in this one. He left early in the 2nd half last week and despite the JSU still led the game, on the road, with only a few seconds remaining. Leading into last week’s game, WKY had been struggling to say the least losing back to back games vs Liberty and La Tech and failing to cover 4 straight. Despite the win last week, as we mentioned they were outplayed in the stats and we like Jacksonville State in this quick revenge spot.
