11. South Alabama Jaguars

Location: Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile, AL

Date: Sep. 9

South Alabama 2016 Record: 6-6 (2-6 Sun Belt)

All-Time Record vs. South Alabama: No previous meetings

The first of two meetings between OK State and South Alabama takes place in Mobile. While this looks like the easiest out-of-conference opponent on the schedule for the Pokes, the Jaguars were still a bowl team in 2016. Moreover, this South Alabama team was able to beat quality teams in the San Diego State Aztecs and Mississippi State Bulldogs in 2016.

This is the first road game on a slate of six total games away from Stillwater for the Pokes. And it is their second game overall of the 2017 season.

If OK State is victorious in this matchup, they will carry some considerable momentum into their road game against Pitt, which is also likely their toughest out-of-conference game.

One thing this game will give OK State fans an opportunity to see is how running back Justice Hill will fare against a quality Group of Five conference defense. South Alabama held a strong SDSU offense and rushing attack to just 24 points in 2016.
