Gio Lopez QB vs. Garrett Nussmeier QB

This season, Gio Lopez has been nothing short of effective for the South Alabama Jaguars posting a magnificent 62% completion with 843 passing yards accompanied by 9 touchdown passes and no interceptions. The passer rating is 171; he has a great ability to throw the ball with minimum errors which makes him a vital player for the team. However, it may put him on his toes and enable him to be adaptive due to the pressure that may come in from a strong LSU defense.

On the other hand, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has exhibited great precision and leadership completing 70.6 percent of his passes for a total of 1247 yards. His decision-making has played a key role in 13 touchdown passes to 2 interceptions ratio which proportioned the LMU offensive plan. However, the few occasions he was sacked twice will change given the nature of the South Alabama defense which may affect his ability to in the course of an entire game maintain his passer rating 160.4.

Ground and Air Assault: Analyzing Jaguars’ Rushing and Receiving

Fluff Bothwell and Jamaal Pritchett are two important participants in the Jaguars’ offensive plays. Bothwell has shown to be a dangerous threat as a runner with a very useful 9.7 yards per rush 6 touchdowns, and a longest run of 57 yards. With him, Pritchett is also taking ground assaults, but this time from the ceiling with 355 yards and 4 touchdowns, which is the operational balance needed to exploit some of the chinks that can be exposed from the LSU’s defense.
