RichRod is back in charge, and he might have himself a pretty decent team to work with.
Former Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez had a successful debut on Saturday afternoon with his new program, Jacksonville State, which beat Stephen F. Austin 42-17 in Montgomery, Ala.
Jacksonville State is an FCS program that plays in the Atlantic Sun Conference but will be moving up to FBS and Conference USA in 2023.
The Gamecocks were down 17-7 late in the second quarter before scoring 35 consecutive points, including 14 in the final 1:56 of the first half.
