With just six seconds left on the clock, South Alabama kicker Gavin Patterson nailed the 13-10 victory with a 30-yard field goal.
Redshirt freshman Aaron Winchester received his second start of the season with an injured Conner Manning still unable to play. With this experience, Winchester is showing some improvement with this playing experience, particularly with his decision-making skills. He finished the game completing 11 of 18 passes for 113 yards. Junior running back Glenn Smith was the recipient of Winchesters longest pass of the game for 25 yards. Winchester’s wheels would also carry the Panthers running game for 104 yards, double the production of both Demarcus Kirk and Kendrick Dorn who combined had 55 total yards on the ground.
