Story summary
Jacksonville State, known as the Gamecocks, are predicted to win against Kennesaw State (the Owls) in a Conference USA matchup. Despite not receiving much recognition from the broader college football community, Jacksonville State has maintained consistent performance under two different coaches and through several player transfers, with nine wins each season since joining the conference. They currently hold second place as favorites to win CUSA for 2026. The Gamecocks are favored by 3 points over Kennesaw State, who had a strong 2025 season but have struggled this year following the departure of their star quarterback Amari Odom and the underperformance of his replacement Rickie Collins. Jacksonville State's offense relies heavily on its running game led by versatile quarterback Caden Creel, positioning them well for the upcoming match against Kennesaw State, despite being ranked 80th nationally according to SP+.

Jacksonville State’s offense won’t set the world on fire against good defenses, but the Gamecocks can be relentless with their running game, which is shepherded by do-it-all quarterback Caden Creel.
