Phillips, South Alabama ground game helps churn 41-36 win over Ohio
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) --- Jared Hollis threw for 192 yards and a touchdown. Keenan
Phillips ran for a 116 yards and a touchdown and South Alabama beat Ohio 41-36
on Saturday night.
Phillips was part of rushing stable of four backs who amassed 266 yards on 50
carries and scored four touchdowns. PJ Martin ran for 80 yards on 21 carries
and touchdown, Trae'veon Dunbar had 52 yards on six carries with two touchdowns
and Jared Hollins recorded 18 yards on five carries.
South Alabama (2-1) built a 24-7 lead at halftime and never trailed.
Victor Rosa had a 33-yard touchdown run for Ohio to start the first half.
Shortly after, Matt Vezza threw a 9-yard touchdown to Riley Neer to get the
Bobcats within 24-21.
But Martin's 1-yard plunge after a 10-play, 75-yard drive near the halfway
point of the third, and Dunbar's 5-yard run with 8:21 to play helped create
safe distance.
True freshman Levi Davis threw a 21-yard scoring pass to Dom Dorwart as time
expired for the Bobcats' (1-2) last score.
Davis and Vezza, a New Hampshire transfer, each threw for two touchdowns for
Ohio.
