Good Luck & Travel Grace To All!
Note:
Competition rules are as follows 1.) Because there are so many of you I need you to clearly make your picks as I have put them as far as names go so there is no mistakes on my part in scoring 2.) All picks must be in on Thursday games at least 15 minutes before game start on Saturday games all picks should be in one hour before start of first game of the day, if the thread happens to still be open and you pick after the start of the first game(s) your pick(s) for those game(s) is voided. 3.) Scoring will be posted by the following Monday each week (I do try to get them done on Sunday’s but sometime I travel and I be tired just like the rest of you & I don’t get paid to do this so be patient and kind to me). 4.) I will also post the next week’s pick between Sunday at Noon and the latest Monday Noon so no need to stress on that either.

The ONLY reason I'm going w/ Alcorn St vs SU is because Alcorn's QB can throw, makes good decisions, and he's very elusive.

SU, although it has a strong and dominant ground/pound game, hasn't shown that superior Skelton can get it downfield accurately and precisely. Seems kinda' one-dimensional to me and I'm not too sure how much success one can have being one-dimensional at just running the ball unless clock control is the primary objective.

SU's OL vs Alcorn's DL will be a hella' matchup because both are physical. SU's DL vs Alcorn's OL will also be a hella' matchup because both are physical.

I gave the edge to Alcorn STRICTLY on the nifty lefty's ability to get the ball downfield accurately and concisely in a timely manner. He makes good judgment decisions so I think SU's secondary will be tested (again). I don't think SU will be able to run the ball on Alcorn. Special teams play could possibly come into play but both are evenly matched, imho.

I've seen both and those are my personal opinions.

I like you breakdown/analysis of the match-up better than Mr. SWAC Ball Z (@LuvTheBoom16 )
