SOUTH ALABAMA IS REVEAL SUITS NATIONAL TEAM OF THE WEEK

DALLAS (FWAA) – The South Alabama Jaguars amassed 526 total yards and had two receivers top 100 yards in a 32-21 win at Southern Miss to snap a 15-game road losing streak and open the season with a win for the first time since 2016. The Thursday night victory earned the Jaguars the Reveal Suits National Team of the Week honor for games of the weekend of Sept. 5, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America.

All participating Division I FBS and FCS schools are eligible to be selected. This is the 19th season for the FWAA to award a National Team of the Week.

This is the first time South Alabama has been selected for this honor and it gives the Sun Belt Conference a team of the week honoree for a second consecutive year on the season's opening weekend. Georgia State upset Tennessee in Knoxville to open the 2019 season.
