Jacksonville State vs South Carolina Prediction
This is going to be an interesting game, but Jacksonville being an FCS team facing against a team from the SEC is a tough spot to be in.
Spencer Rattler should have a good performance. While the scoring may be a bit less, as the two programs feel each other out, South Carolina should cover the spread with the more elite talent.
Prediction: Carolina Gamecocks -16
