University of South Alabama Athletics

Barge posted a career-best 13 stops — the first time in his two-plus seasons as a Jag that he has reached double digits in the category — including his first behind the line this year in the Jaguars' win over Arkansas State to be selected the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week.  South was leading by five points with just over five minutes remaining in the game when he forced a fumble at the one-yard line that was recovered by USA in the end zone for a touchback; it was his second forced fumble of the season, one more than he was credited with in his first two years with the program.  With the effort, the junior moved into the top 10 all-time in the school’s record books with 147 stops in his career.
