South Alabama set FBS, program and conference records during Thursday night's 87-10 victory over FCS member Northwestern State.
The win marked the highest-scoring victory by an FBS team over an FCS opponent in the matchup's history, per Fear the FCS. Houston set in 1990, and Oklahoma State tied in 2012, the previous FBS-FCS record of 84 points.
The victory also marked the highest-scoring FBS outing since Fresno State's 94-17 win over New Mexico in 1991.
South Alabama racked up the record-breaking points total despite the blowout being cut short as the fourth quarter was replaced with a six-minute running clock, per College Football Report.
