South Alabama focused on itself despite Top 10 opponent in Oklahoma State

Oklahoma State will be the highest ranked visiting team in the history of the South Alabama football program, but the Jaguars are spending this week doing some self-reflection.

Rather than focusing on how to slow down the high-powered Cowboys, ranked No. 10 in the Amway Coaches Poll and No. 11 by the Associated Press, the Jaguars (0-1) are looking to shore up some deficiencies from their 47-27 opening-week loss to Ole Miss. Specifically, USA is looking to improve in four phases: third-down efficiency, red zone execution, eliminating dropped passes and tackling.
