South Alabama Jaguars @ Auburn Tigers Preview

The Auburn Tigers enter this Week 3 matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium with a 2-0 record, fresh off a dominant 42-3 victory over the Ball State Cardinals. Auburn's offense has shown significant firepower, particularly in the run game, where they average 265.5 rushing yards per game, ranking 12th nationally. Running back Jeremiah Cobb and Durell Robinson have both broken off explosive touchdown runs, showcasing the team's ground attack capabilities. Quarterback Jackson Arnold has also connected with talented receivers like Eric Singleton Jr. and Horatio Fields for scores, indicating a versatile offensive scheme. Defensively, Auburn has been stout, holding opponents to just 13.5 points per game (41st nationally) and an impressive 30.5 rushing yards allowed per game (2nd nationally). However, ball security was an issue in their last outing, with five fumbles, though they only lost one.

The South Alabama Jaguars, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a narrow 31-33 loss to Tulane in their season opener. Despite the loss, the Jaguars' offense showed flashes, averaging 6.5 yards per play and accumulating 190 rushing yards against Tulane. However, their defense struggled significantly, allowing 211 rushing yards (124th nationally) and 162 passing yards. The departure of starting quarterback Gio Lopez to North Carolina also presents a challenge for the Jaguars. Historically, South Alabama has found it tough against SEC opponents, holding a 1-7 straight-up record in their last eight games against teams from the conference, and a 2-5 straight-up record in their last seven September games.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The historical record between the South Alabama Jaguars and the Auburn Tigers indicates a limited but even series, with both teams holding a 1-1 all-time record against each other. While specific game details from these past encounters are not available in the provided data, this suggests that when these two in-state programs have met, the outcomes have been competitive.

Pick: Auburn Tigers -24.5

Auburn is poised for a strong performance in this matchup. Their offense, particularly their potent rushing attack, should be able to exploit South Alabama's defensive weaknesses, especially against the run, where the Jaguars rank among the worst in the nation. Auburn's defense is also significantly stronger, ranking highly in points and rushing yards allowed. While South Alabama's offense showed some life against Tulane, Auburn's defensive front, which recorded five sacks in their last game, will present a much tougher challenge. Given the statistical disparities and Auburn's recent dominant win, the Tigers are well-positioned to cover the -24.5 spread at home.
