The 2010 Jacksonville State Gamecocks football team represented Jacksonville State University during the 2010 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Jacksonville State competeed as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) under 11th-year head coach Jack Crowe and played its home games at Burgess-Snow Field.
In the season opener at Ole Miss, Jacksonville State stunned its Division I FBS opponent with a double-overtime upset, 49–48. In the second overtime period, the Gamecocks matched Ole Miss with a touchdown and Crowe ordered his team to attempt a two-point conversion to end the game. Quarterback Coty Blanchard connected with running back Calvin Middleton on a shovel pass in the end zone for the win. Crowe, who had been fired as Arkansas head coach after losing to Division I-AA The Citadel in 1992, said, "If you stay in this long enough, it goes both ways."[2]
Jacksonville State entered the regular season finale against underdogs Tennessee Tech ranked fourth in the nation, with a share of the Ohio Valley Conference championship on the line. The Gamecocks mounted a 21-play, 94-yard scoring drive that left 11:33 remaining to play and gave them a 24–7 lead. Tennessee Tech, however, successfully mounted four rapid-fire touchdown drives to win, 35–24, and denied Jacksonville State the OVC automatic playoff berth.[3] The Gamecocks did receive an at-large berth, and after a first-round bye, lost in the second round of the FCS Playoffs to Wofford, 17–14.[4]
