“It was definitely a big time play”, Smith said. I’m the kind of guy who is watching basketball at 7 PM and then watching tennis at 1 A.M. They always have my back.

App State ran for more than 300 yards in its last three games. True freshman Daetrich Harrington chipped in 72 yards, Marcus Williams had 68 yards and Lamb ran for 45 yards. South Florida won last year’s Birmingham Bowl 46-39 over SC on Flowers’ 25-yard TD pass in overtime.
