How to watch Ohio vs. Jacksonville State today: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for Cure Bowl 2024 image

The Cure Bowl will feature a compelling matchup between the Ohio Bobcats and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks this Friday afternoon. 

In just its second year at the FBS level, the Gamecocks dominated Conference USA, claiming the league title in emphatic fashion. Their latest statement came in a 52-12 rout of Western Kentucky, underscoring their offensive firepower and defensive strength.

With head coach Rich Rodriguez leading the charge, Jacksonville State’s rapid ascent has garnered significant attention. Rodriguez’s success may soon make him a target for larger programs looking for proven leadership.  

On the other side, Ohio also arrives with a championship pedigree after capturing its first MAC title in over 60 years. However, their victory came with a bittersweet outcome.

Head coach Tim Albin’s success has already earned him a new opportunity, as he departs for Charlotte following the Bobcats’ triumphant season. Despite this transition, Ohio remains a formidable force, as evidenced by their dominant 38-3 win over Miami (OH) in the conference title game.
