It will give the likes of Bret Bielema more hope he too can upend the top-ranked Tide (2-0). UGa barely survived a year ago in Athens, winning 9-6 on three Marshall Morgan field goals. The game is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on CBS.
No. 17 Coastal Carolina (2-0) at No. 4 Jacksonville State (1-1): Coastal Carolina is transitioning from the FCS to the FBS and is allowed to have 75 players on scholarship this season.

McElwain said “Great teams learn how to go about their business and prepare and be proud of how they have played, regardless of the opponent”, sentiments echoed by Del Rio also. “You’ve got to keep pushing the pocket, and on the pass plays they’ve got a lot of perimeter plays to get the ball on the perimeter and use their speed well, which now it becomes a perimeter game and it’s a little bit different for the offensive line”.
