On Saturday, South Alabama made a statement in its dominant 48-14 win over Appalachian State. The Mountaineers had no answers for the Jaguars’ rushing attack, which notched 320 total yards. Fluff Bothwell and Gio Lopez led the ground game for South Alabama, each totaling over 100 rushing yards.

Of course, Lopez’s wheels weren’t his only threat. The standout QB also collected 154 passing yards and two touchdowns without throwing a pick. South Alabama’s defense forced Appalachian State to commit two turnovers, as well.

After the game, South Alabama head coach Major Applewhite raved about his team’s performance.

“I think everybody on our team knew they were capable of this, but to be able to come do it on the road against a quality opponent — a traditional really good program, kind of the standard bearer for our conference along with a couple of other schools — there’s a lot of excitement in our locker room,” Applewhite said.

“There is a lot of time left in the season, but it’s great that we all came tonight and had this type of win.”
