The
much needed changes with a new starting quarterback to lead the offense showed
that was what the Jaguars of South Alabama needed. South Alabama lost to
Arkansas State Red Wolves by a touchdown. What a improved team and stats since
their three game losing streak.
Arkansas State fought back to keep a win at home in Jonesboro with a 36-29 victory over South Alabama.
This is the team that I
want to see in South Alabama a team that I love and support. A couple of the
most improved is the reductions of turnovers and interceptions. And then the
quarterback and offense got more end zone action for touchdowns. South Alabama
Jaguars produced (3) touchdowns in Saturday game against Arkansas State.
South Alabama lead the
first road game in the Sun Belt Conference in stats. The Jaguars came out with
the most first downs, the most in passing and rushing yards and 4th down
conversions.
South
Alabama QB Ross Metheny led the Jag with 241 passing yards to Arkansas State QB
Ryan Aplin 203 passing yards. On the ground rushing the Jaguars lead the Red
Wolves with 132 yards to 113 for the Red Wolves.
With
first quarter action Kendall Houston caught a 4 Yd Pass From South Alabama QB
Ross Metheny to give the Jags their first score and touchdown.
With 11:55 remaining in
the 4th Quarter, Taylor Stockemer caught a 9 Yd Pass from Arkansas State QB
Ryan Aplin and a (David Oku Run for Two-Point Conversion) put the Red Wolves in
a position to cap the win for a victory over South Alabama.
South Alabama returns
home to prepare for their homecoming game against Florida Atlantic at Ladd
Pebbles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama. This is a game where I expect South Alabama
to get their first conference win.
