Here’s how you can watch Friday evening’s Arizona Bowl between South Alabama and Air Force online.
In case you don’t recall, South Alabama had arguably the upset of the year when it took down Mississippi State in the season opener on the road. However, they followed that big win up with a hangover, losing four of the next six games.
Bowl eligibility looked to be in doubt, but the Sun Belt’s eighth place team finished the year 6-6 and just snuck into the postseason. It will be interesting to see if the Jaguars’ lackluster rushing defense can slow down Air Force’s dominant ground game.
Sophomore quarterback Dallas Davis will be a key player in a potential upset as he has had a breakout season for South Alabama. The first-year starter exceeded expectations, passing for 2,461 yards and 10 touchdowns, but his 11 interceptions have been disappointing.
Air Force has had a nice year, finishing 9-3 with one of the best rushing attacks in all of college football. The Falcons average over 300 yards per game on the ground and you can attribute most of their success to that ground game this year.
Jacobi Owens is the rushing leader with 785 yards and three touchdowns, but Timothy McVey has reached the end zone a team-high 10 times. Two other running backs have broken the 600-yard mark on the season as well.
Despite having an elite run game, led by Owens, the Falcons have one of the more talented, underused receivers in the country. Jalen Robinette leads the team with 33 receptions for 835 yards and five touchdowns.
