Jackson State Tigers
The Jackson State Tigers will look to improve upon a dismal 3-8 season.
JUCO transfer Derrick Ponder will take the helms in an air-raid style offense under the guidance of head coach Hal Mumme.
We should see an improvement from an offense that ranked 121st overall in the FCS, which is pretty bad.

The bright side of this Tigers squad will be their defense as they have a decent front seven and a strong secondary.
Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
Southern Mississippi will be looking to improve upon an 8-5 (8-5 ATS), but unfortunately got matched up with a talented Florida State squad in their bowl contest in which they lost 13-42.
The Golden Eagle’s offense is going to be led by Louisiana Tech transfer Jack Abraham will take the place of SR RS Kwadra Griggs who will be dealing with a suspension.
Their lead back from last year Ito Smith was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, but Tez Parks and Tulane transfer Keon Howard will share time toting the rock.
The receiving corp is going to be young and unproven after losing Korey Robertson (76 catches, 1,106 yards, 12 TD), but will have Allenzae Staggers returning who posted just 471 yards and five TD last season, but posted 1,165 yards and seven TD the year before.

The defense lost some talent, but they did lead Conference USA in tackles for loss and they will have some of those pieces back in place.
