Quarterback Brandon Bridge had a career-best night, throwing for 339 yards and three touchdowns as South Alabama slammed Appalachian State 47-21 in a Sun Belt Conference game at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Bridge added another 23 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Jaguars remained undefeated in road games this season.

The point total is the highest for the Jags since their 2010 season and improved their overall record to 3-2 and Sun Belt Conference mark to 2-1. South Alabama is 3-0 on the road this season. Appalachian State, in its first season in the league, fell to 1-4 and 0-2.

South Alabama jumped out to a quick lead, then added scores on their first two possessions in the second half, refusing to allow the Mountaineers any breathing room.

PLAY OF THE GAME

Tough to pick one play, but we'll go with the Jags' second touchdown of the game, a 67-yard pass from Bridge to Shavarez Smith that put the Jags in front 20-0 and took away any momentum ASU might have attempted to build. It gave the Jags a good cushion that it would hold the rest of the way.

BY THE NUMBERS

133: Yards receiving for Shavarez Smith, who caught six passes and had a pair of scores, including a 67-yard TD catch from Bridge in the second quarter that gave the Jags a 20-0 lead.

582: Total yards for the South Alabama offense, the same offense that struggled to get anything going in losses to Mississippi State and Georgia Southern. The yards were obtained with a good balance of the pass and run.

3: Number of turnovers collected by the Jags (two fumble recoveries, one interception) and number of road victories they have this year without a loss away from home.

GAME BALLS

OFFENSE: This one's easy. Bridge had the kind of night that many have expected of him - throwing the deep pass, making touchdown runs and making good decisions with the ball. He directed an offense that had the kind of game many expected of it as well.

DEFENSE: Safety Terrell Brigham had a big fumble recovery on the game's third play from scrimmage, setting up the Jags' first touchdown. He also had eight total tackles and a couple of pass breakups against a team that has had offensive success this season.
