Jaguars Open Season Against Southeastern | Birmingham News

South Alabama Jaguars kick off their 2026 season at home against Southeastern Louisiana, aiming to bounce back from last year’s 4-8 campaign under Coach Applewhite. With five returning starters and over 50 new players — especially on defense — the team brings fresh energy and uncertainty. Their offense, led by QB Bishop Davenport, may lean into a run-heavy game plan, while the defense faces a complete rebuild. Despite SE Louisiana’s promising offensive showing in their opener, the Jaguars’ depth and talent edge make them favorites to win — especially in the second half. A thrilling debut with plenty of new faces on the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
