WHAT IS AT STAKE?

South Alabama wants to be competitive and stay relatively healthy before concluding its schedule with seven straight Sun Belt Conference contests.

KEY MATCHUP

Lopez currently ranks eighth in the country with 337.3 total offensive yards per game. This is also the Tigers' first game without star linebacker Harold Perkins Jr., who left last week's win over UCLA with a torn ACL this season.
