Jacksonville State is looking to cap off a successful first season in the FBS on a thrilling note.
The Gamecocks are a transitioning school out of the FCS, so they were originally deemed ineligible for postseason competition. However, not enough teams reached the six-win threshold to qualify for a bowl game, opening the door for Jacksonville State.
Veteran head coach Rich Rodriguez ushered the upstart Gamecocks to an 8-4 season as members of the Conference-USA. They are led by veteran quarterback Zion Webb, who is in his seventh season of collegiate eligibility.
The Ragin’ Cajuns defeated UL Monroe in their regular season finale to achieve bowl eligibility for a sixth-consecutive season. They finished 6-6, good for fifth place in a competitive Sun Belt conference.
Their high-powered offense features a revolving door at quarterback, including dual-threat freshman Zeon Chriss and junior Chandler Fields, who started the last three games.
