Jacksonville State vs. Eastern Michigan updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

The Eastern Michigan Eagles will head out on the road to face off against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks at 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium. Eastern Michigan should still be feeling good after a big win, while Jacksonville State will be looking to get back into the win column.

Last Saturday, Eastern Michigan sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 19-17 victory over UMass.

Eastern Michigan's success was spearheaded by the efforts of RB Jaylon Jackson, who rushed for 83 yards and one touchdown, and QB Austin Smith, who threw for 157 yards and one touchdown. Jackson was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 55 yards. Eastern Michigan also relied on K Jesus Gomez, who's 45-yard boot in the fourth quarter wound up being the difference in the game.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville State lost to Coastal Carolina on the road by a decisive 30-16 margin last Saturday.

Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, who contributed ten in total. All those points came courtesy of K Alen Karajic: he added nine points with three field goals, and another one by kicking an extra point.

Eastern Michigan are hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss.
