Ohio and Jacksonville State Meet in Cure Bowl

The 2024 Cure Bowl, featuring Conference champions Ohio Bobcats and Jacksonville State Gamecocks, will take place on December 20 in Orlando at Camping World Stadium. Both teams are led by interim head coaches following the departure of their head coaches: Tim Albin for Ohio to Charlotte and Rich Rodriguez for Jacksonville State to West Virginia. Ohio boasts a strong offense with quarterback Parker Navarro and running back Anthony Tyus III, while Jacksonville State has a potent rushing attack ranked second in the FBS. The game carries significance beyond football as it raises funds for cancer research, having contributed over $4 million since its inception. The weather for the game is expected to be pleasant, with temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s. Both programs are eager to showcase their abilities in this unique matchup of conference champions.
