Jacksonville vs South Carolina State Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup searching for their first D-1 win of the season, as their three combined wins have all come against non-D-1 teams. South Carolina State was dominated by South Carolina in their lone D-1 game so far this year, while Jacksonville only lost by nine against a good Furman program. The Dolphins are only shooting 38% from the field and I am not eager to back that, so give me South Carolina State and the points.
