The South Alabama Jaguars and Tennessee Volunteers face off on Saturday in a non-conference college football showdown at Neyland Stadium. These two last faced off in 2013 and South Alabama came away with the victory.

The Tennessee Volunteers got out to a quick start to the season but they have had some issues as of late and they currently sit with a 5-5 record. In the last game against Georgia, Tennessee’s offense was able to put up 17 points but that was nowhere close enough as they were defeated 41-17. The Volunteers are averaging 36.1 points while their defense is giving up 29.5 points per game. Hendon Hooker is under center for Tennessee and he has thrown for 2,138 yards, 22 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Hooker has also rushed for 464 yards and four touchdowns.

On the other side of this matchup is the South Alabama Jaguars who sit with a 5-5 record and during conference play they have gone 2-5. In the last game against Appalachian State, South Alabama only managed seven points, and that led to the 31-7 defeat. South Alabama is averaging 26.4 points while their defense is giving up 23 points per game. Under center for South Alabama is Jake Bentley who has thrown for 2,122 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Terrion Avery has been the top running back rushing 129 times for 498 yards and a touchdown.

South Alabama is 0-5 against the spread in their last five road games. Tennessee is 2-5 against the spread in their last seven home games. The under is 5-1 in South Alabama’s last six games against the SEC. The over is 5-1 in Tennessee’s last six games overall.

Tennessee is going to make this into a boat race, but I don’t think their defense is going to find a whole lot of success. Look for the Volunteers to score close to 50 points, and South Alabama will finish the job to push this game over the total. Back the over.
