Our Middle Tennessee vs. Jacksonville State predictions believe the Gamecocks will beat the Blue Raiders with relative ease.
The Gamecocks have been hanging big numbers on teams all season long, and their ground game will punish a putrid Blue Raiders' defense.
Unfortunately, the offense isn’t very good either. Last week, the team faced Kennesaw State who ranked 99th in total defensive EPA and 112th in success rate. The Blue Raiders found success on just 38% of their offensive snaps, with a -0.26 EPA/play that placed them in the ninth percentile nationally.
Middle Tennessee is abysmal against the pass, and not good at all against the run. Jacksonville State doesn’t pass often, but is gaining nine yards an attempt which ranks ninth nationally. It’s the run game where the Gamecocks will find the most success, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and running the ball nearly 61% of the time — both Top 20 marks.
Given his increased workload the past few games, and having had two weeks to rest up, I’ll be surprised if he fails to rush for at least 100 yards.
