🔍 Matchup Breakdown
Jags ground game vs. A-State front
South Alabama’s 202.5 rush ypg meets a Red Wolves defense allowing 212.8 rush ypg and 5.7 per carry. RB Kentrel Bullock (496 yds, 5 TD) plus PJ Martin give USA a clear path: downhill, shorten the game, and keep Jaylen Raynor on the sideline.
A-State passing game vs. Jags secondary
QB Jaylen Raynor (1,451 pass yds, 8 TD; 196 rush yds, 4 rush TD) is the Red Wolves’ engine, but he faces a top-25 pass defense (169.2 ypg). If protection holds, Chauncy Cobb (406 yds) and Corey Rucker (334 yds) can stress the perimeter—yet the lack of run balance invites pressure.
Leverage downs & red zone:
- A-State allows 48.6% on third down (129th), a big edge for USA’s run-heavy scripts.
- South Alabama’s defense has been leaky in the red zone (opponents 100%), keeping the door open for Wolves’ drives to cash.

✅ Best Bets (ClutchBuzz Card)
- Arkansas State +7.5
- Numbers + matchup agree: USA’s path is run/clock control, which suppresses margins. A-State’s offense is good enough to trade 7s for USA’s 3s given the Jags’ red-zone issues.
- Under 59.5
- Expect sustained USA drives and fewer possessions. A-State’s scoring relies on chunk passes into a top-25 pass D.
- Player Prop (lean):
- Kentrel Bullock Over 85.5 rush yds — volume + matchup vs porous A-State front.
- 1H Total Under 30.5 (lean)
- Script favors early ground-and-pound, clock bleed, and field-position chess.
