Matchup: Mississippi State at South Alabama

Times hosted before: None

"Last year's late-September trip to Fargo showed that ESPN is willing to go off the beaten (read: power conference) path every now and then for a good story. And there are few better than the one South Alabama is writing in its short college football history.

Formed only in 2010, the program went from 2-11 in 2012 to 6-6 last season, with last year's performance including wins over two bowl teams and a one-touchdown setback at Tennessee. And now the Jaguars get a chance to take down a school from the SEC, the league that not only dominates nationally on a performance level but grabs the attention of most college football lovers in Alabama.

The fans in Mobile love their football and annually support the teams that come into town for the GoDaddy and Senior Bowls. Now it's time to give them, and the USA student body, a chance to bask in the glow of the national spotlight for at least one Saturday"
