With Tyler Huff hobbled, Gamecocks RB Tre Stewart will have to step up vs. the Hilltoppers in the C-USA Championship Game, as Phil Naessens explains in his Western Kentucky vs. Jacksonville State player prop picks.
The C-USA Championship game between the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and Jacksonville State Gamecocks is the second meeting between the two conference rivals in as many weeks.
Veltkamp should get some help. Jacksonville State doesn’t defend the airways as well as some, allowing a 59.5% completion percentage and 7.6 yards per reception. That amounts to 221 passing yards allowed, and less than optimal for defending Veltkamp. Western Kentucky owns the worst rushing defense in C-USA play. They’ve surrendered 217 rushing yards per night on 4.8 yards per carry. They held Stewart to only 85 yards on 20 attempts, but I expect Stewie to be the man on Friday.
Western Kentucky allows 7.8 yards per reception. That’s pretty stingy, and they don’t get beat often for long plays. That makes Rechsteiner a valuable option, especially if Huff can’t run the ball effectively.
