In their recent encounter with Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks, the Gamecocks displayed a potent offense with 409 total yards but fell short by three points in a 34-31 loss. Their passing game was particularly strong, racking up 318 yards and two touchdowns. However, turnovers and penalties proved costly.

The previous home game against North Alabama Lions saw the Gamecocks eke out a narrow victory of 27-24. Their rushing attack was impressive with 211 yards gained on the ground contributing significantly to their total of 309 offensive yards. Defensively they were more robust than before, achieving three sacks and forcing two fumbles which they converted into scores.


An away victory against Florida State Seminoles showcased Jacksonville's tenacity as they edged out a close win of 20-17 despite being penalized heavily for 111 yards throughout the match. This victory highlighted their ability to perform under pressure even when not playing at home.


While trends show that Jacksonville has had issues with consistency in terms of penalties and turnovers, there is no doubt about their capability to put up significant yardage both through air and ground attacks which could prove pivotal in this upcoming matchup.
