MOBILE, Ala. (AP) Carter Bradley threw three touchdown passes and South Alabama held Old Dominion scoreless in the second half to rally for its fifth-straight win, 27-20 win on Saturday.
South Alabama needed Troy to lose Arkansas State in a late game to win the West Division and advance to the conference title game.
Old Dominion's Jason Henderson had 18 tackles, giving him 186 for the season, a total only exceeded by the 193 of Lawrence Flugence of Texas Tech in 2012 and the 191 of Luke Kuechly of Boston College a year earlier. Henderson had double-figure tackles in every game - with a high of 22 - except for getting just two last week before suffering an injury.
