Through 3 Quarters
The Troy Trojans are on the board, but we're still waiting on the South Alabama Jaguars to respond. Three quarters in and Troy's offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating South Alabama 27 to nothing three quarters in. The Trojans took a hit to their ego last week, so a win here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.
QB Gunnar Watson has led the way so far for Troy, as he has passed for three TDs and 261 yards on 36 attempts. Watson's performance is making up for a slower contest against the Appalachian State Mountaineers.
Troy has been a nightmare for South Alabama's offensive line with four sacks already. We'll see how many sacks Troy can scare up the rest of the game.

What to Know
Get ready for a Sun Belt battle as the South Alabama Jaguars and the Troy Trojans will face off at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.
South Alabama beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves 38-31 last week. The Jaguars' WR Jalen Tolbert was on fire, catching ten passes for three TDs and 252 yards. One of the most thrilling moments was Tolbert's 51-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, the afternoon started off rough for Troy last week, and it ended that way, too. They took a serious blow against the Appalachian State Mountaineers, falling 47-10. Troy was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 34-10. QB Gunnar Watson wasn't much of a difference maker for Troy; Watson threw one interception with only 125 yards passing.
South Alabama suffered a grim 37-13 defeat to the Trojans when the two teams previously met in October of last year. Maybe the Jaguars will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
