Southern vs Fresno State Prediction

Fresno State has lit up the scoreboard in its last two games and has yet to record a passing touchdown. That’s probably good news, as it’s only a matter of time before the air game gets going. Southern has struggled against bad FCS teams, and that includes barely beating Mississippi Valley State. This is likely going to be an ugly game late Saturday night. I expect a big number, but I’ll lay it anyway, with Fresno State at home.
