## Resource

South Alabama Jaguars seek stability under Major Applewhite as a heated quarterback battle between Bishop Davenport and Jared Hollins takes center stage. Will the Jaguars finally find the consistency they've lacked in recent Sun Belt campaigns, or will roller-coaster results continue to define their season? Dave Schultz highlights South Alabama’s quest for a breakthrough year, recapping the program’s journey from Joey Jones and Kane Wommack to Applewhite's current tenure. Analysis covers Davenport’s dual-threat potential, Hollins’ local legacy, and the impact of losing key playmakers like Devin Voisin. The episode breaks down South Alabama’s 2026 schedule, tough road trips against Kentucky and Marshall, and the must-win battles in Mobile. Can the Jaguars’ new quarterback duo spark a return to a 10-win form, or will defensive losses and Sun Belt parity keep them at .500?
