The C. Michigan Chippewas will head out on the road to face off against the South Alabama Jaguars at 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium. C. Michigan are hoping to put an end to a three-game streak of away losses.
C. Michigan traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road doesn't seem to have gotten any smoother. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 41-17 walloping at Notre Dame's hands on Saturday.
Nobody from C. Michigan had a standout game, but they still got scores from Myles Bailey and QB Jase Bauer.
The Chippewas weren't very productive in the air and finished the game with only 137 passing yards. They were demolished by their opponents in that department as Notre Dame passed for 342.
Meanwhile, South Alabama made easy work of Oklahoma State on Saturday and carried off a 33-7 win. With South Alabama ahead 23-0 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Among those leading the charge was La'Damian Webb, who rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Webb was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 65 yards. The team also got some help courtesy of Caullin Lacy, who picked up 104 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The team won by holding Oklahoma State to a paltry 208 yards. South Alabama's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. Leading the way was Brock Higdon and his two sacks.
C. Michigan are hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss.
C. Michigan ended up a good deal behind South Alabama when they played in their previous matchup back in September of 2022, losing 38-24. Can C. Michigan avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
