Jaguars have beaten Red Wolves 5 straight years
South Alabama is on the road for the third straight week and fourth time in five, but this one carries a little more weight than all the others.
South Alabama has won five consecutive games against Arkansas State, its longest streak against any opponent. The Jaguars last lost to the Red Wolves in 2018, but won in Jonesboro in both 2020 and 2022 . “I think he’s gotten better; he’s improved from last year,” South Alabama defensive coordinator Will Windham said. “He’s a good thrower, but he’s dangerous with his legs and that’s a scary thing. The nice part about that is we practiced against it all spring all fall camp with Gio and Bishop . So, I feel like we’re probably a little bit more prepared for it in that regard.”
“It’s always a point; every week we’re banged up,” offensive guard Reed Buys said. “We’re all in the training room every single day. Every week is like a car crash. Your body’s feeling it. So, we’re just focused on getting the little nicks and bruises fixed up. But I think mentality is the biggest thing for us — staying strong there. We just focus on having a good week of practice and we’ll be good.
“It was actually pretty cool just to get to be in that spot, to score in Death Valley,” Eager said. “Not many people can say that. At first, my heart was beating a little too much; I was just a little nervous. But after a couple of plays, I was like ‘I got this. I can fill this spot.’”
