South Alabama Jaguars Game Notes
South Alabama’s head coach Kane Wommack said Monday that he is more optimistic about Carter Bradley (knee) playing during Week 10, Creg Stephenson of Al.com reports.
Bradley reportedly “moved around pretty good” during South Alabama’s team practice Monday, hence why Wommack is more optimistic than before. For now, Bradley’s availability is questionable as the Jaguars prepare to begin their November schedule by playing at Troy on Thursday.
