Game Notes
South Alabama enters this week 1-0. Last week the Jaguars defeated FCS-West 35-26. This is South Alabama's first road game of the season. Last week's offensive player of the game was wide receiver Bryant Lavender who had 6 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. The defensive player of the week for the Jaguars last week was defensive end Alex Page who recorded 6 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble! Coach Landon_is_legend comes into this game with a career record of 1-0. Tulane comes into this week's contest at 0-1 after an opening game 38-19 loss to FCS-Southeast. The Green Wave are led by wide receiver Ryan Grant who has 12 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown on the season so far. Tulane is playing its second home game of the season and are 0-1 at home currently this season. Tulane is coached by Curtis Johnson who is in his second season as the coach of the Green Wave. Johnson currently holds a 2-11 mark as the head man of the Green Wave. Press-Register's thoughts: South Alabama is a young program that cannot raise the bar of expectations too high early on. It's important for the Jaguars to find positive things to build on for the future. However, South Alabama is playing a program in Tulane that has been struggling for a long time now. While the Green Wave certainly do have some talented players, the Jaguars have to feel they have a realistic shot at this game. The key for the Jaguars will be turnover margin and stopping wide receiver Ryan Grant. If South Alabama can hold Grant to under 100 receiving yards and win the turnover battle, you have to like their chances. South Alabama finds a way.
