Where is Jacksonville State located? Here's what to know as the Gamecocks take on Ohio in the 2024 Cure Bowl on Friday:

Both are conference champions — Jacksonville State in Conference USA and Ohio in the MAC. Both are making their Cure Bowl debuts with a chance to deliver the first wins for their conferences, which are both 0-2 in the game. Both have bowl-game winning streaks on the line. And both will have to try to keep those streaks going under new coaches.

Parker Navarro ran for three touchdowns and passed for a fourth in the first half and Ohio held off Jacksonville State 30-27 in the Cure Bowl, the only bowl game featuring two conference champions.
