For much of Saturday night South Alabama appeared as though they would be 2-0 for the first time in nine years at the expense of a Tulane team that was favored by ten points going in.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Jaguars decided to make a change that altered the trajectory of the game, at least for a while. Starting QB Desmond Trotter, who lost the Jags’ only fumble, was pulled and backup Chance Lovertich was sent in. Lovertich went on to finish the night with 249 yards and two touchdowns. More importantly, though, he orchestrated two scoring drives in the second quarter.
