No. 21 Mountaineers route South Alabama, move to 7-0

An early start and a cloudy, windy day didn’t stop a dominating defensive performance by the No. 21 Mountaineers.

App State (7-0 overall, 4-0 Sun Belt) beat the University of South Alabama Jaguars (1-7 overall, 0-4 Sun Belt) 30-3 in Mobile, Alabama Saturday afternoon.

“I thought our defense played unbelievable today and held them in check all game,” head coach Eliah Drinkwitz told App State Athletics. “It really allowed us offensively to kind of find ourselves. We struggled converting third downs and really didn’t play solid enough offensively, but we played well enough to win, and we’ll be on to the next one.
