Gamecocks are 5-2 this season
Jacksonville State quarterback Ashton Frye drops back to pass vs. Liberty at Burgess-Snow Stadium last Tuesday. Frye saw his first collegiate action during a 31-13 Gamecocks loss. Western Kentucky was already going to be a tough enough opponent for Jacksonville State, but the Gamecocks’ uncertainty at quarterback makes facing the Hilltoppers potentially even more daunting.
Jax State coach Rich Rodriguez wasn’t tipping his hand as to what the plan under center will be Tuesday. He noted that perhaps even redshirt freshman Te’Sean Smoot — who did not play vs. Liberty but has seen action in two other games this season — could also take some snaps vs. the Hilltoppers. The Hilltoppers also feature one of the most dangerous receivers in the conference in Malachi Corley, who has 37 receptions for 538 yards and five touchdowns in just five games this season. He torched Louisiana Tech for 207 yards and three touchdowns on eight receptions last time out.
Despite it being on a Tuesday night and available to watch on TV, the Jax State-Liberty game drew a crowd of 21,745 to 24,000-seat Burgess-Snow Stadium. Rodriguez said he is hoping for a similar turnout vs. Western Kentucky.
