Xavier v. Jacksonville: preview, matchups, keys to the game

Xavier started the season the best way possible, which is moving to 1-0. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, and the run to an undefeated campaign can't happen without that vital first result. You'll get no argument here if you point out that X chose a fairly unchallenging path to that spotless record, but a win is a win... right?

Testing that theory is Xavier's next opponent, Jacksonville. They started their season with a comical drubbing of Johnson University Florida, a school that is literally shutting down after this academic year. Jacksonville racked up 89 possessions in that game, apparently not content to take their foot of the throttle en route to a 113-46 final score.
