This time, South Alabama finished the job.

The Jaguars routed Oklahoma State 33-7 at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater on Saturday night, scoring their second Power 5 victory in program history. The win came one day short of a year after Kane Wommack’s team let a late lead get away in a 32-31 loss at UCLA last September.

The victory was South Alabama’s most-decisive ever over a P5 program, seven years after the Jaguars stunned Mississippi State 21-20 in Starkville to start the 2016 season. It was also USA’s largest in terms of point differential vs. a non-conference opponent on the road.

South Alabama came into the season with high expectations and some national buzz after going 10-3 in 2022, only to fall flat in a 37-17 loss at Tulane on Sept. 2. The Jaguars sleepwalked through a 35-17 win over Southeastern Louisiana in Week 2 before putting it all together on Saturday before a stunned sellout crowd in Stillwater.

Carter Bradley threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes to Caullin Lacy and La’Damian Webb ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns as the Jaguars dominated from start to finish. South Alabama (2-1) led 16-0 after one quarter and 23-0 at halftime and after three before Oklahoma State (2-1) finally got on the board early in the fourth quarter.

After Oklahoma State’s Jaden Nixon scored on a 2-yard run to make it 23-7 with 12:14 left, South Alabama went three-and-out and punted. However, the Cowboys’ Brennan Presley muffed the return and Jaguars long-snapper Travis Drosos fell on it at the OSU 24.

South Alabama couldn’t get into the end zone, settling for Diego Guajardo’s 42-yard field goal and a 26-7 lead with 9:04 to play. Guajardo also hit a 39-yarder in the first quarter to give the Jaguars an early lead.

Oklahoma State punted the ball back to South Alabama with 9:56 to play, and Webb burst up the middle for a 65-yard touchdown. That made it 33-7 with 7:04 remaining.

The loss snapped Oklahoma State’s 19-game non-conference home winning streak. The Cowboys last loss in that scenario came 30-27 to Central Michigan early in the 2016 season.

South Alabama controlled the clock on the ground, rushing for 243 yards as a team. The Jaguars held the Cowboys to 4-for-15 on third down, 1-for-8 in the first half.

South Alabama dominated the first half, scoring on its first three possessions and outgaining the Cowboys 232 yards to 70. After the Jaguars’ defense force a three-and-out, Guajardo hit a 39-yard field goal to make it 3-0.

After another OK State punt, Bradley hit his first touchdown pass to Lacy, a 39-yarder, for a 10-0 lead. South Alabama’s Marquise Robinson picked off Cowboys quarterback Alan Bowman and returned the ball to the OSU 17, setting up La’Damian Webb’s 17-yard touchdown run on the next play.

South Alabama botched the extra-point snap to lead 16-0, but that about the only mistake of the first quarter. Bradley hit Lacy again on a 57-yard touchdown with 1:03 left in the half to put the Jaguars up 23-0.

Bradley was as efficient as he has been all season, completing 10 of 16 passes for 152 yards and the two TDs without an interception. Lacy caught five passes for 104 yards and the two scores. The Jaguars’ defense recorded four sacks and held the Cowboys to 208 yards of total offense.

Oklahoma State again played three quarterbacks, with Bowman giving way to Gunnar Gundy in the second quarter and Garret Rangel replacing Gundy in the fourth. The three combined to complete 16 of 35 passes for 114 yards.

The victory matched South Alabama’s largest on the road in program history. in terms of point-differential. The Jaguars won 47-21 at Appalachian State in 2014.

South Alabama returns home next week to host Central Michigan at 4 p.m.
