South Alabama announced its 2016 football schedule on March 3, 2016. The 2016 schedule consists of 6 home and away games in the regular season. The Jaguars will host Sun Belt foes Georgia Southern, Georgia State, New Mexico State, and Troy, and will travel to Arkansas State, Idaho, Louisiana–Lafayette, and Louisiana–Monroe. South Alabama will skip out on two Sun Belt teams this season, Appalachian State and Texas State.[1]
The team will play four non–conference games, two home games against Nicholls State from the Southland Conference and San Diego State from the Mountain West Conference, and two road games against Louisiana State (LSU) and Mississippi State both from the Southeastern Conference (SEC). On October 13, 2016, LSU canceled its game against the Jaguars on November 19 due to scheduling issues after Hurricane Matthew.[2][3] On October 15, 2016, the Jaguars announced they will host the Presbyterian Blue Hose on November 19; the Blue Hose's game with Florida on that day was also canceled under the same circumstances.[4]
