South Alabama Upsets Mississippi State 21-20.

South Alabama pulls out win against Mississippi State.

South Alabama Upsets Mississippi State 21-20.

South Alabama? Who? That's right, South Alabama upset Mississippi State in their first football game of the season on Sept 3. The final score was 21-20.

The team didn't start out great. The first quarter score was 7-0, MSU, and the second quarter score was 10-0, MSU. South Alabama had one fumble, two punts, and a missed field goal in the first half.

The second half went much better. They were able to score in the first drive of the second half with a touchdown pass from Dallas Davis to Josh Magee, making it 17-7, MSU. There wasn't another score until the fourth quarter. The next score in the game was a field goal made by MSU kicker, Westin Graves. This made it 20-7, MSU.

In the fourth quarter, South Alabama scored two touchdowns, one was a pass to Gerald Everett, and the other was a run by Tyreis Thomas. MSU had the ball at the end of the fourth quarter with a chance to kick a field goal and win the game, but Graves missed it, making the final score 21-20, South Alabama.

This was South Alabama's first ever SEC win, and with the confidence they probably have now, I bet they keep winning their big games. The next game they play will be against Georgia Southern at home, and their next "big game" is against San Diego State. I am confident in their talent, and I am interested in what they have to bring to the table.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
