Even in Indy against an OVC team, I don't see Butler having much of a shot here. The offenses might be comparable, even with Michael German coming back at QB for TSU, but the defenses aren't comparable & Butler's special teams suck. The OVC playoff drought should end Saturday regardless of what happens in Jacksonville.
Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:
Quarterbacks -- (push)
Running Backs - Tennessee St.
Receivers/TEs - (push)
Offensive Line - Butler
Defensive Line - Tennessee St.
Linebackers --- Tennessee St.
Secondary ---- Tennessee St.
Kicking ------ (push)
Punting ------ Tennessee St.
Return Teams - Tennessee St.
Kickoffs ------ Tennessee St.
Tennessee St. 34-7 Butler
Potential matchup Brendan Shannon WR Butler 71 grabs 978 yds vs Tenn St DB Daniel Fitzpatrick among the nations leaders in interceptions.Butler on offense averages 28.7 ppg not too shabby!!!

Everyone on TSU is healthy and will be ready to play follow supporters of the school on twitter and was told Leonard is ready to go.Leonard is NFL material !!! Ex Miami Hurricane!!!!

It's receivers & TEs. TSUs wideouts don't appear to be too great. It's hard to really know, though, since the Tiger passing game was kinda crippled most of the year.

They did have a guy I thought would be a top flight WR Hakeem Parker 6-4 205 but it didn't work out for him he transfered to a juco I was told.
