The Lipscomb Bisons find themselves in track meets far too often, and it’s why they come up short time and time again despite playing well offensively. The Jacksonville State Gamecocks have been great against the number dating back to last season, and they have a clear edge defensively in this contest. I have no choice but to lay the chalk here with the Gamecocks.
