Arizona Bowl 2016: South Alabama vs. Air Force Live Score and Highlights

Final:  Air Force 45, South Alabama 21. 

With six minutes left in the first half of the Arizona Bowl, Air Force was in serious trouble. The favored Falcons were giving up multiple big defensive plays and couldn’t move the ball, trailing South Alabama 21-3. Then, it all changed. The offense clicked through the air and on the ground, and the Falcons defense clamped down on the Jaguars offense.

The result? Air Force scored 42 consecutive points and took a 45-21 win over South Alabama in Tucson. The Falcons finished 2016 at 10-3, while the Jaguars lost their second bowl game in as many tries and fell to 6-7.

Quarterback Arion Worthman accounted for 278 yards of total offense and ran the flexbone option with efficiency. Meanwhile, USA quarterback Dallas Davis hit passes of 51 and 75 yards early but couldn't maintain the momentum. Once the Falcons grabbed the lead early in the second half, they never looked back.
