Texas State vs South Alabama: Who Will Win?
Which Texas State team comes?
The running game is great, but it needs to be big for this to work. They are 6-0 when they run for more than 190 yards and 0-5 when they don’t.
South Alabama has trouble with strong passing teams, like Texas State. But stopping the run is what they need to do most.
Three times, South Alabama has given up more than 190 yards, but its own running game will also be great.
At home, the Jaguars will get more turnovers than the other team. That will be enough to break serve and win a very close game.
