PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – After an impressive 38-7 win over Southeast Missouri State last Saturday, Jacksonville State moves into the No. 25 spot in this week’s The Sports Network I-AA top 25, which was released on Monday.
New Hampshire holds the No. 1 ranking for the second-straight week, followed by Appalachian State, Cal Poly, Furman and Montana.
“We’re pleased anytime we gain national attention,” said JSU head coach Jack Crowe. “We play at UTM this week and we’re very respectful of who we’re playing. We’re going into the game with confidence in hoping that there’s an opportunity to win and win in a way that we can meet our expectations, which is to win this league and go into the playoffs and be competitive at a national level.”
It marks the 15th time the Gamecocks have been ranked in The Sports Network poll since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003. JSU was last ranked on September 5, 2005, at No. 21.
The Gamecocks, one of three Ohio Valley Conference teams ranked in the Top 25, travel to face Tennessee-Martin on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Hardy Grady Stadium.
