Stephen F. Ausin Lumberjacks
Stephen F. Austin will be looking to improve upon a miserable 4-7 season where they went 4-5 in Southland Conference play.
Things haven’t already gone their way as their head coach Clint Conque will be out with a suspension, while they’ll be without their leading play maker Kijana Amous who posted 1,357 all-purpose yards
Quarterback Jake Blumrick will be under helm for the offense again after a season where he posted 1,650 passing yards and an 8:7 TD to INT ratio.

On the defensive side they will be led by Alize Ward who led the team in interceptions with four.
Mississippi State Bulldogs
Mississippi State will be looking to improve upon a solid 9-4 (8-5 ATS) season where they capped it off with a nice bowl victory over the Louisville Cardinals 31-27.
QB Nick Fitzgerald will be the starting quarterback for the Bulldogs, but he’ll miss this contest due to being suspended for the first game so Keytaon Thompson will be filling in.
Fitzgerald was efficient last year posting a 55.6% CMP%, 1,782 pass yards, 15:11 TD to INT ratio, 984 rushing yards and 14 rushing TD.
They’ll be getting their leading rusher Aeris Williams who posted 1,107 rushing yards, 4.7 YPD, and six TD a season ago.
The receiving corp will be returning a decent amount of starters, but no receivers were able to eclipse 27 catches and 277 receiving yards a year ago.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
On the defensive side the Bulldogs will be looking to be as dominant as they were last year where they ranked 10th in total defense giving up just 306.3 YPG.

4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Stephen F. Austin Spread
This should be a nice warm up contest for Mississippi and a learning tool as they’ll be without Fitzgerald, but don’t expect them to hold back with Thompson.
Stephen F. Austin will at least have a quarterback with experience to help them feel a tad comfortable entering this game, but Mississippi State’s defense is going to keep the pressure at full throttle.
Expect this to be a blow out, but not one where they’ll cover the spread as I expect Stephen F. Austin to score at least one touchdown which could make the difference of covering or not covering the spread.
