With games looming against the second- and third-place teams in the Ohio Valley Conference, league-leading Jacksonville State (6-1, 4-0) will try to avoid overlooking struggling Austin Peay (1-7, 1-3) at 3 p.m Saturday.
JSU travels to second-place Eastern Kentucky next week, then returns home to play Eastern Illinois on Nov. 15.
"Austin Peay is a young team that is starting a lot of freshmen, but they beat Murray State (two weeks ago)," JSU coach John Grass said. "So you can't overlook anyone in this conference."
The game is homecoming for the Gamecocks, who are ranked fifth in the Football Championship Subdivision, with their only loss this season coming against Football Bowl Subdivision team Michigan State.
