Jacksonville State makes its first visit to Louis Crews Stadium since 2003 Saturday to take on the Alabama A&M Bulldogs in an in-state match-up of NCAA Div. I-FCS schools. The Gamecocks enter the game 0-2, but have played two of the top tier teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) on the road in their first two contests. JSU had Florida State on the ropes a week ago before the Seminoles rallied for a last-minute win, 19-9, in Tallahassee. Georgia Tech defeated the Gamecocks in week one, 37-17. Alabama A&M comes in to Saturday's contest at 2-0 having defeated Tennessee State, 24-7, and Hampton, 31-24, in the first two weeks.
