South Alabama is bowl eligible for the first time since 2016.
One of the best defensive efforts in school history and just enough offense on Saturday put South Alabama in position to go bowling again.
La’Damian Webb provided most of the offensive production, rushing for a career-best 162 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in the game. He ran 69 yards on South Alabama’s first play of the game to set up an early touchdown, then carried the ball all 11 times on a 53-yard drive that ran down the clock and resulted in another score in the fourth quarter.
“It’s a great step forward for sure from a bowl-eligibility standpoint, but I want to make sure our fans, our players, everybody associated with South Alabama football, the expectation has changed here,” Wommack said. “Bowl games are awesome, that’s great, but we’ve got to continue to push the dial forward and play to our standard. We happen to be bowl eligible eight games into the season. That’s great.
“We had to come out with it,” Miller said. “Last week when we lost to Troy, I feel like we didn’t play the way we should have, with the aggression and the passion that we usually play with. So when we came out today, we made sure in the locker room that we set the tone that we were going to come out here with passion and emotion, playing as hard as we can play on every play.”
After Arkansas State turned the ball over on downs at the USA 39 early in the third, South Alabama drove 69 yards in 13 plays to take a 24-3 lead at the 5:18 mark. Bradley scrambled for 10 yards on third-and-8, then Webb leapt over the pile for the touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 1. Bradley then hit tight end DJ Thomas-Jones with a shovel pass for two points and a 21-point advantage.
Miller had eight tackles, a tackle for loss and a half-sack, while Sheriff had 1.5 sacks and Darrell Luter broke up two passes. Jay’juan Townsend blocked a punt in the first quarter, the Jaguars’ first since Davyn Flenord did so vs. Memphis in 2018.
