SUN BELT BREAKS REGULAR SEASON NON-CONFERENCE WIN TOTAL After a win by Texas State in the Sun Belt’s fi nal non-conference game of the 2018 regular season, the Sun Belt total for non-conference wins this season now sits at 21. That total is good for the most regular season non-conference wins in league history, breaking the record of 19 that was set in 2013. Including the postseason, the Sun Belt’s record for non-conference wins in a season is 22, which was set in 2016. The conference has a minimum total of fi ve remaining non-conference games this season when factoring in postseason bowl opportunities. Also of note, the Sun Belt Conference has the second highest non-conference win percentage amongst all Group of Five Conferences with a .538 mark (1. American - .543, 2. Sun Belt - .538, 3. Mountain West - .531, 4. Conference USA - .412, 5. Mid-American - .383).

TROY, ULM TAKE DIVISIONAL LEADSAfter being deadlocked in ties in both Sun Belt divisions, Troy now sits alone atop the East Division standings at 5-0 while ULM took the lead in the West Division at 3-2. ULM took sole possession of fi rst in stylish fashion by defeating previously tied East Division leader Georgia Southern this past Saturday by a score of 44-25. Troy, meanwhile, defeated former West Division co-leader Louisiana by a score of 26-16. The Trojans can take a big step forward to claiming the East Division title when they play at Georgia Southern on Saturday. A win would keep the Trojans in fi rst place and would also put a second defeat in Georgia Southern’s loss column. Appalachian State remains fi rmly in the East Division mix with only one loss. Troy visits Appalachian State the last weekend of the season.

THREE SUN BELT TEAMS BOWL ELIGIBLE, OTHERS IN STRIKING DISTANCEGeorgia Southern (7-2) became the fi rst Sun Belt team this season to hit the mark to be eligible for a postseason bowl game this year when they earned their sixth win on Oct. 20 against New Mexico State. Troy (7-2) followed up days later when it tallied its sixth win on Oct. 23. Appalachian State (6-2) hit their mark this past weekend with a 23-7 win versus Coastal Carolina. Coastal (5-4) is among three teams that sit one game away from reaching bowl eligibility, joining Arkansas State (5-4) and ULM (5-4). With Coastal playing Arkansas State this upcoming Saturday, one of those teams will reach six wins and give the Sun Belt its fourth bowl team. ULM, meanwhile, faces West Division opponent South Alabama (2-7) in its quest to reach bowl eligibility.

2018 SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL

SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

OFFENSE

CALEB EVANS, ULM (JR., QB, MANSFIELD, TEXAS)

Junior quarterback Caleb Evans accounted for 439 yards total offense and four touchdowns to lead ULM to a 44-

25 victory over Georgia Southern. Evans became the fi rst opposing quarterback to produce 400-plus yards total

offense against the Georgia Southern defense since the 2014 campaign. He recorded his second 300-yard passing

game of the season and seventh of his career, completing 13-of-22 throws for 337 yards, and two touchdowns.

Evans hooked up with Marcus Green for scoring plays of 80 and 69 yards in the fi rst half. He also posted his

second 100-yard rushing game of the season and third of his career, with 15 carries for 102 yards and two

touchdowns. Evans scored on runs of 5 and 2 yards. He led ULM to touchdowns on four of its fi rst fi ve possessions

as the Warhawks jumped out to a 27-3 lead over the Eagles, who dropped their fi rst league game of the season.

DEFENSE

JORDAN FEHR, APPALACHIAN STATE (JR., LB, CHARLOTTE, N.C.)

Jordan Fehr led a dominant defensive effort with a team-high eight tackles and a career-high three sacks, while

also forcing a safety, in a 23-7 road win at Coastal Carolina. He was the lead tackler on the safety that gave

App State a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter. He just missed a fourth sack with a QB hurry on the play

right after his third sack. The Mountaineers’ defense did not allow a point to the Coastal offense and held the

Chanticleers to 178 total yards, 72 rushing yards and 11 fi rst downs.

SPECIAL TEAMS

TYLER SUMPTER, TROY (SO., K/P, HOOVER, ALA.)

Tyler Sumpter tied a school record with four fi eld goals in Troy’s win over Louisiana last Saturday. Sumpter made

a pair of 40-plus yard kicks including a 49-yard attempt and was also perfect on a pair of extra points. Sumpter

has made eighth straight fi eld goals and is 11-of-14 on the season.

2018 Sun Belt Conference Championship and Divisional Structure

The Sun Belt Conference will conduct its inaugural Football Championship Game on December 1,

2018 and the game will air on ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2. The game will feature the winners of the Sun

Sun Belt Conference Bowl Success

During the last two seasons, the Sun Belt tied its record for wins in the postseason with four

wins in both 2016 and 2017. The Sun Belt finished second in bowl winning percentage among all

10 FBS conferences in each of those years while also finishing fourth in 2015. Reaching back

to the 2014 season, no conference has a better total bowl winning percentage (.611) than the

Sun Belt Conference. Further, the Sun Belt has won more games during that four year period

(11) than its peers: the American Athletic Conference (10) and the Mid-American Conference (6).

That fact is staggering when considering the Sun Belt has reached its win mark despite those

conferences having more opportunities to win games (AAC – 27, MAC – 23, Sun Belt – 17).

AROUND #SUNBELTFBUSA TODAY POLL

ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL

Sun Belt and ESPN Reach Long-Term Agreement

This past March, the league announced a continuation of its relationship with ESPN that is the most

significant and extensive multimedia rights agreement in conference history. This new agreement

includes enhancements in the current agreement, which runs through 2019-20, most notably

an increase of men’s and women’s basketball games on ESPN platforms. The number of men’s

basketball contests available will jump to a minimum of 100 games in 2018-19 and 150 games in

the 2019-20 season. Beginning with 2020-21, the Sun Belt’s agreement includes the following on

an ESPN platform: A minimum of 500 events per year, all football, men’s basketball and women’s

basketball games, a minimum of 10 football games per year on a combination of ABC, ESPN, ESPN2

and ESPNU, all live coverage of regular-season competition across all sports each year, all live

coverage of conference championship events each year.

Sun Belt in the Preseason Polls

The preseason Amway Coaches/USA Today Poll gave the Sun Belt several new records. It marked the

first time the Sun Belt had three different teams receive votes. Troy and Arkansas State now also

tie for the highest amount of points in a preseason poll as well as tying for the highest position in a

preseason poll. Appalachian State joined Troy and A-State in the poll.

New Faces

Three new head coaches hit the Sun Belt sidelines this season with Chad Lunsford (Georgia

Southern), Billy Napier (Louisiana) and Steve Campbell (South Alabama) all making their debuts.

Notably though, Lunsford served as interim head coach at the end of 2017, coaching a total of six

games.

Sun Belt Athletes Are Student-Athletes

During the recent 2017-18 academic year, Sun Belt member institutions awarded over $50 million in

scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experiences such as team

building, domestic and foreign travel, community service, mentoring and recognition through honors

and awards. The commitment to education recently led to over 2,000 Sun Belt Conference student-

athletes being named to the 2017-18 Commissioner’s List and Academic Honor Roll. The list is

comprised of 1,036 student-athletes on the Commissioner’s List (3.5 grade point average or better)

and 987 student-athletes on the Academic Honor Roll (GPA between 3.0 and 3.49).

Welcome Back

Coastal Carolina coach Joe Moglia missed the entire 2017 season dealing with medical conditions

that popped up last summer and didn’t return to the program until January. “It was a difficult

decision, but it was the smart decision, one that will have a positive impact on my health for the

next 20 years. I just had to give up a few months,” he reflected. Moglia, who also serves as acting

chairman of the board and is the former CEO of TD Ameritrade, one of the world’s largest online

discount brokerage firms, had to watch from a distance as Coastal played in its second year of

transition to the FBS ranks.

App State Earns First-Ever Top 25 Ranking

Appalachian State earned its fi rst Top 25 ranking as an FBS member when the

AP Poll on Sunday, October 21 listed App State at No. 25. It’s tied for the highest

ranking ever for a Sun Belt team - Troy hit No. 25 in the AP Poll during the

2016 season is the only other case of a Sun Belt team being ranked in either

poll. With a school-record 78 voting points in the same week’s Amway Coaches

Poll, the Mountaineers were one spot outside the 25th spot, 17 voting points

behind Miami.

Hart among Nation’s Best

Among all active FBS receivers, Georgia State’s Penny Hart is second in career

receiving yards per game (80.1), fourth in career receiving yards (2,883) and

receptions per game (5.47) and seventh in receptions (197), all in just 36 games.

Mountaineer Alums

The Sun Belt has three head coaches that all graduated from Appalachian State

– Scott Satterfi eld - 1996 (Appalachian State), Shawn Elliott - 1996 (Georgia

State), and Everett Withers - 1985 (Texas State). Withers was a standout

defensive back and captain for the Mountaineers from 1981-85 and played

one season under legendary head coach Mack Brown. Satterfi eld and Elliott

played together under another coaching legend in Jerry Moore. Both were

All-Conference selections in 1995, Satterfi eld at quarterback and Elliott at

defensive end.

Sun Belt Student-Athletes with Undergraduate Degrees Playing This Season

The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame recently

released a list of 1,161 student-athletes who have already earned their

undergraduate degrees and will be playing college football this fall while

Hansen sets A-State Touchdown Records

Arkansas State senior quarterback Justice Hansen set a school-record with six

touchdown passes in the Red Wolves season opener against Southeast Missouri

State. All six touchdowns went to different receivers and he became the fi rst

Sun Belt quarterback to toss six or more touchdown passes since Giovanni

Vizza of North Texas had eight against Nov. 10, 2007. In addition to his single-

game performance record, Hansen broke the Arkansas State school record

for career passing touchdowns in his three touchdown performance against

Georgia State on Oct. 18.

App State’s Thomas Perfect against Charlotte

Zac Thomas went 14-of-14 passing for 295 yards and three touchdowns through

the air in the Mountaineers’ 45-9 win at Charlotte. The Appalachian State

quarterback became the fi rst player in both Mountaineer and Sun Belt history

to record a perfect 1.000 completion percentage during Appalachian State’s

45-9 drubbing of Charlotte. Thomas completed all 14 of his passes for 295

yards and three touchdowns. “We played very effi cient and Zac had a really

good game,” said Mountaineer coach Scott Satterfi eld. “They (Charlotte) took

away our running game early, so we had to go a little bit more with the passing

game.” The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, named

Thomas as one of eight quarterbacks as its “Stars of the Week.”

Texas State’s Sherman Named as one of the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-

Kicker Award “Stars of the Week”

College football’s top kicking award, the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker

Award recognizes three of the top kickers each week from FBS teams as the

“Stars of the Week”. For his performance on Sept. 8 against Texas Southern,

Texas State’s James Sherman was listed among the honorees. Sherman tied

the all-time Texas State record with fi ve fi eld goals in Saturday’s 36-20 defeat of

Texas Southern in San Marcos, Texas. He was 5-for-6 in the game with the lone

miss from 50 yards out. The senior from Montgomery, AL had a pair of makes

from 41 yards to go along with conversions from 36, 35 and 23 yards out. He

added three extra points for an 18-point game which tied the school record for

kick-scoring in a game.

Sun Belt vs. Non-Conference

Troy’s win over Nebraska and Arkansas State’s win against Tulsa in the third

week of the season came a week after Sun Belt football teams went 6-3 during

2018’s second full weekend of play, including a 3-0 record against Conference

USA squads and a fourth win against an FBS independent. This comes at no

surprise to Sun Belt coaches, some of whom have seen their teams compile an

8-3 record in postseason bowl games over the past two years and the nation’s

best conference bowl-victory percentage since 2014. “We have quality football

teams in this league,” said Georgia Southern’s Chad Lunsford. “After being in

this conference for a few years, and seeing how good the coaching is, it does not

surprise me at all.” “The better teams in the Sun Belt can play in any league,”

said Coastal Carolina coach Joe Moglia, after his team responded from an early

21-7 defi cit and scored 40 of the game’s fi nal 43 points in a 47-24 week two rout

of UAB’s Blazers. “There are a lot of very competitive teams in this league, a

lot more than at any time that I’ve seen. It’s not just against peer conferences,

either, but against Power Five conferences.”

Sun Belt Conference and the College Football Playoff Foundation go the Extra

Yard for Teachers

The Sun Belt Conference and the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation

have partnered up in 2018-19 to recognize teachers through the CFP

Foundation’s Extra Yard for Teachers (EYFT) platform. The CFP Foundation

created EYFT Week in 2015 to provide an opportunity for universities, coaches

and student-athletes to take part in its mission of elevating the teaching

profession through inspiring and empowering teachers, and to create

awareness for the growing EYFT platform. Now in the event’s fourth year, the

CFP Foundation is looking to build even more momentum for the support

of teachers nationwide. Each of the 10 Sun Belt football-playing institutions

will receive a $10,000 grant from the CFP Foundation to use in their local

communities to recognize teachers for their hard work and to provide

classroom supplies and professional development resources.

USA’s Patterson Named Semifi nalist for the 2018 Campbell Trophy

South Alabama senior placekicker Gavin Patterson was named one of 179

semifi nalists for the 2018 William V. Campbell Trophy — the award recognizing

an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation — by

the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF). Patterson

has a 3.98 cumulative grade-point average as an exercise science major,

and in addition to being named to the Sun Belt Commissioner’s List on three

occasions, he was inducted into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars in

2016. He ranks second on the school’s career record list with 28 fi eld goals and

78 extra points as well as fourth with 162 points. He was chosen fi rst-team

all-Sun Belt in 2017.

A-State’s Hansen a Top 30 Candidate for Unitas Award

Arkansas State senior quarterback Justice Hansen has been named a top 30

candidate for the 2018 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the organization

announced recently. The honor is given annually to the nation’s top college

quarterback, and candidates must be a college senior or fourth-year junior on

schedule to graduate with their class. Criteria to be considered for the award

include character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, leadership qualities

and athletic accomplishments. The list of candidates for the award was cut to

30 from its original watch list of 49 in the preseason. It will be narrowed to 15

eligible candidates in the coming weeks.

App State’s Thomas Added to Manning Award Watch List

Appalachian State sophomore quarterback Zac Thomas was added to the 2018

Watch List for The Manning Award as a mid-year addition. Thomas ranks in the

top 15 nationally in quarterback rating, point responsibility per game, rushing

TDs by a quarterback, yards per pass attempt, passing effi ciency and yards

per completion. After accounting for 313 total yards and three touchdowns in

his fi rst career start, an overtime loss at Penn State, Thomas was named the

College Football Performance Award’s National Player of the Week by going 14-

of-14 passing for 295 yards and three touchdowns through the air at Charlotte.

It marked the fi rst time an App State or Sun Belt quarterback had fi nished a

game with at least 10 completions and no incompletions.

CCU’s Biscardi, GS’ Bass Named Groza Place-Kicker Award Semifi nalists

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has released the 20 semifi nalists

for the 2018 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Orange

fi eld goal attempts and has a season long of 50 yards. Bass, meanwhile,

is converting on over 85% of his tries for the season and has also booted a

50-yarder.

Sun Belt, AutoNation Cure Bowl Team for Coaches for a Cure Initiative

The Sun Belt Conference and the AutoNation Cure Bowl, benefi ting the

Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), teamed up for a conference-

wide Coaches for a Cure initiative during the 2018 football season. During the

month of October, the 10 Sun Belt football-playing institutions participated

in Pink Saturdays and displayed Sun Belt Kicks Cancer kicking nets. For

Pink Saturdays games the Cure Bowl provided pink shoelaces, armbands,

wristbands and towels for coaching staffs to wear for each school’s designated

game(s). In addition, each school displayed a specially designed pink Sun Belt

Kicks Cancer kicking net on its home sideline during games throughout the

month. Pink Saturdays is a conference-wide initiative that unites football teams

and coaches across the country to raise funds and awareness about the fi ght

against breast cancer and promote BCRF as a source of inspiration for those

facing cancer.

App State’s Evans, ULM’s Green Earn Paul Hornung Honor Roll Recognition

Strong Week 10 efforts put Appalachian State’s Darrynton Evans and ULM’s

Marcus Green on the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for the week. The Paul

Hornung Award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college

football and outstanding performances each week during the season are

recognized on the Honor Roll. Green scored twice on long pass plays, fi elded

punts and returned a kickoff as the Warhawks upset Georgia Southern 44-25.

Green hauled in an 80-yard scoring strike in the fi rst quarter and a 69-yard

score in the second quarter as ULM built a 20-0 lead. Evans touched the ball

29 times rushing, receiving and returning kicks. He also scored once and

accounted for eight fi rst downs in the Mountaineers’ 23-7 Sun Belt Conference

win over Coastal Carolina. Evans carried the ball 27 times for 159 yards and a

touchdown, caught one pass for 12 yards and returned a kickoff 35 yards to help

App State stay within one game of the lead in conference division standings.

Overall vs. Texas State: Fourth Meeting – App. State Leads, 3-0Last Meeting: Sept. 16, 2017 (W, 20-13) – San Marcos, Texas

Bowl eligible for the fourth straight year, App State is the only FBS program with a bowl win in each of its fi rst three seasons after the complete transition.

App State will be playing at Texas State for the second straight year, and last year’s meeting in San Marcos was the Mountaineers’ fi rst-ever game in the state of Texas.

At Coastal Carolina, the Mountaineers allowed single-digit points for the fi fth time this season and didn’t give up an offensive touchdown for the second time in three Sun Belt road games. Arkansas State kicked three fi eld goals in a 35-9 loss to App State.

Inside linebacker Jordan Fehr was the initial tackler on a safety that gave App State a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter at Coastal Carolina, and he also had a career-high 3.0 sacks. He just missed a fourth sack with a quarterback hurry on the play right after his third sack, and the safety was App State’s fi rst since Fehr produced one against Savannah State last season.

Jacob Huesman became the fi rst App State quarterback to lead the Mountaineers to a win in his fi rst career start since Jamal Jackson completed his fi rst 15 passes in a 49-42 victory at The Citadel in 2011.

At Coastal Carolina, App State had a pair of 100-yard rushers for the second time this season, as Darrynton Evans rushed for 159 yards and Marcus Williams Jr. had 103.

Overall vs. Arkansas State: Second Meeting – Arkansas State Leads, 1-0Last Meeting: Oct. 14, 2017 (L, 17-51) – Jonesboro, Ark.

The Chants returned home for only the third time this season in a 23-7 loss to Appalachian State last Saturday on Homecoming weekend. CCU will play each of its next two games at home in Brooks Stadium.

CCU will have to wait one more week to try to get win number six on the season and become bowl eligible in its fi rst year of eligibility. The Chants enter play this week at 5-4 and 2-3 in Sun Belt play.

Last week, CCU’s defense had a number of career performances, as linebackers Teddy Gallagher and Michael Makins each had a career-high 14 tackles, while defensive end Tarron Jackson added a career-high nine stops in the game.

Sophomore Derambez Drinkard had two interceptions in the game versus the Mountaineers, including returning one for a touchdown, the fi rst defensive touchdown of the season for the Chants.

Jeffrey Gunter added 2.0 tackles for loss last week to give him 13.5 on the season, a Sun Belt season high, and tied for the second-most in a single season in Chant history. He is just 2.5 TFL away from tying the single-season Chanticleer record with 16.0 tackles for loss set back in 2003.

Despite season lows in yards and points last week, the CCU offense still ranks third in the Sun Belt in rushing offense (231.7 yards per game) and second in both fi rst downs (197) and third down conversion percentage (42.9 percent).

Overall vs. Troy: 18th Meeting – Troy Leads, 11-6Last Meeting: Oct. 28, 2017 (L, 16-38) – Troy, Ala.

Georgia Southern and Troy have met 17 times on the gridiron with the Trojans holding an 11-6 lead in the series that dates back to 1934, although that number is a little misleading.

Since Georgia Southern re-started its football program for the 1982 season, the Eagles are 6-3 against Troy, winning four of the past fi ve. The two teams played every year from 1934-1941 with the Trojans winning all eight contests.

Outside linebackers coach Jeremy Rowell spent 15 seasons at Troy, including the fi nal six as the defensive coordinator. Rowell also led Troy to a 19-3 regular season record as a starting quarterback in 1994 and 1995.

From 2006-2010, the Trojans won the Sun Belt Conference title outright or shared the title each of those fi ve seasons.

GS will recognize 16 seniors before Saturday’s fi nal scheduled home game.

The Eagles have won six straight games at home dating back to last year’s Senior Day win over South Alabama and will be looking for their 13th undefeated home season at Paulson Stadium, the fi rst since 2014.

Overall vs. Georgia State: Fourth Meeting – Louisiana Leads, 3-0Last Meeting: Nov. 7, 2015 (W, 23-21) – Lafayette, La.

Louisiana dropped a close game at Troy, 26-16, on Nov. 3, losing its third conference game of the season.

A win against Georgia State would extend Louisiana’s winning streak at home to three games. That would be the best in-season winning streak at home since 2009 when Louisiana beat Southern (9/5), Kansas State (9/12) and North Texas (10/10).

Sophomore running back Trey Ragas ran for 106 yards on 18 attempts, scoring two second half touchdowns. The 100-yard game was the fi fth 100-yard game of the season for Ragas and it places him one 100-yard game away from tying the school record of six 100-yard games in a season.

Louisiana went fi ve-for-15 on third downs at Troy, despite those numbers Louisiana has remained fourth in the FBS in third down conversions, converting at a clip of 50.4 percent on the season.

Junior wide receiver Ja’Marcus Bradley completed a 21-yard pass to Jarrod Jackson for the fi rst completion of his career. It was the fourth pass attempt in Bradley’s career, and the longest completion by a Louisiana receiver since Al Riles completed a 48-yard pass at Georgia Southern on Nov. 10, 2016.

Overall vs. South Alabama: Fifth Meeting - Series Tied 2-2Last Meeting: Oct. 21, 2017 (L, 23-33) – Mobile, Ala.

Fifth-year senior Marcus Green, who recorded his second 100-yard receiving game of the season with two receptions for 149 yards and two touchdowns in ULM’s 44-25 win over Georgia Southern, has been named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for Week 10. Green caught a pair of slants from Caleb Evans and turned them into scoring plays of 80 and 69 yards. Fifth-year senior Derrick Gore produced his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and fourth of his career, with 19 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown against Georgia Southern. He capped off an 11-play, 67-yard drive with a 1-yard TD plunge midway through the third quarter to extend the Warhawks’ lead to 34-10. ULM is 3-0 this season when Gore eclipses the 100-yard rushing milestone. Fifth-year senior linebacker David Griffi th recorded a team-high eight tackles, including a 4-yard sack, to help lead ULM to a 44-25 victory over Georgia Southern. Griffi th has produced at least one tackle for loss in each of the last four games and six of nine games overall. The ULM defense limited Georgia Southern to its second-lowest rushing total of the season (80 rushing yards at Clemson), as the Eagles managed 138 yards on 46 carries. The Eagles’ 216 yards total offense marked the fewest allowed by ULM under head coach Matt Viator. The Warhawks registered nine tackles for loss (38 yards) against Georgia Southern while matching their season high with fi ve sacks (29 yards).

Overall vs. ULM: Fifth Meeting - Series Tied 2-2Last Meeting: Oct. 21, 2017 (W, 33-23) – Mobile, Ala.

The Jaguars celebrate Homecoming weekend for the second year in a row against ULM Saturday afternoon. South has won each of its previous nine Homecoming contests, with the last four of those coming against Sun Belt Conference opponents. Four of USA’s fi ve Homecoming contests in league play have been decided by one score, with last year’s victory over the Warhawks the fi rst to be decided by a double-digit margin since the Jags defeated Kent State, 38-21, on Oct. 19, 2013.

The Jaguars have won fi ve of their last six conference contests at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in November dating back to a 36-14 decision over ULM on Nov. 23, 2013.

The Jaguars fell in their opening game of the last month of the regular season, 38-14, at Arkansas State on Saturday, with the Red Wolves ending the contest with a 509-260 advantage in total offense.

Nigel Lawrence and Bull Barge recorded 17 and 13 tackles, respectively, for the Jags, marking the second time this season the duo has fi nished with a double-digit stop total in the same game having fi rst accomplished the feat in South’s win over Texas State on Sept. 15. Lawrence had 10 stops at the half, fi nishing the day with a career-best total that’s not only the most recorded by a Jaguar this season but the most by a South defensive player since Blake Dees was credited with 20 tackles in a win over Idaho on Nov 7, 2015. In fact, Lawrence’s effort tied the third-highest fi gure recorded in a contest in school history. It was the fi rst time in his career that Barge has been credited with 10-plus tackles in consecutive contests as he tied a career high in the category as well.
