STARKVILLE, Miss. -- South Alabama quarterback Dallas Davis thought hed be nervous before his first career start -- against a Southeastern Conference opponent, no less -- until he walked onto the field at Mississippi State.He heard the deafening cowbells. He saw the big crowd. He knew his side was a huge underdog.And somehow, he relaxed.The Jaguars pulled the first major upset of the college football season, holding off Mississippi State 21-20 Saturday when Westin Graves 28-yard field goal try smacked off the upright and fell away in the final seconds.Facing a team favored by four touchdowns, Davis capped a late comeback by throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to Gerald Everett with 57 seconds left.Davis, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound sophomore, completed 24 of 34 passes for 285 yards and two scores. He also had a highlight-reel run in the second half, hurdling Brandon Bryant on the way to another big gain.The Jaguars took down an SEC team for the first time in school history. The players on this little-known Sun Belt Conference school down in Mobile will have quite a story to tell for the rest of their lives.Im part of the South Alabama Jaguars, beaming linebacker Roman Buchanan said, that beat Mississippi State.Down 17-0 at halftime and still trailing 20-7 in the fourth quarter, South Alabama rallied with 99-yard and 71-yard touchdown drives.It was just coming out and playing better, Davis said. Ever since the beginning of camp, coach has preached playing fast and finishing strong. We didnt start as fast as we wanted, but we dang sure finished strong.The Jaguars were in jeopardy of letting their lead get away until the very end.Mississippi State drove down the field in the last minute and got in position for a field goal. But Graves kick hit the left post and dropped harmlessly to the turf at a stunned Davis Wade Stadium.Most of the Mississippi State fans had long gone home on a hot afternoon and all that was left was a screaming contingent of a few hundred South Alabama fans. And, of course, dozens of jubilant South Alabama players.It certainly was one of the worst losses in the eight-year tenure of Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen.We just didnt execute real well at times, he said. And we had some absolutely critical errors. You cant make critical errors and expect to win the game.Two days after Appalachian State -- another Sun Belt program -- almost toppled No. 9 Tennessee before losing in overtime, South Alabama kicked off a season that follows a year full of wild endings.Multiple Jaguars said they werent surprised at the outcome -- even if most everyone else was.They didnt show us anything spectacular on film for us to change our gameplan, Everett said. So we just came out here and went at them 100 miles per hour.South Alabama coach Joey Jones said he was proud to give the Sun Belt a high-profile non-conference victory.To win a ballgame like this is a blessing, Jones said.Damian Williams finished with 143 yards passing and 93 yards rushing, including several impressive plays on the final drive for the Bulldogs. But it wasnt enough.MISSISSIPPI STATES QB SITUATIONMississippi State came into preseason camp with a four-man quarterback race that was whittled to three in mid-August when Elijah Staley transferred. The Bulldogs started Nick Fitzgerald, but after two ineffective drives replaced him with Williams, who gave the offense some spark on the way to a 14-0 lead. Williams, however, wasnt as effective in the second half until the final drive that ended with the missed field goal.THE TAKEAWAYSouth Alabama: Its a massive win for the Jaguars, who lost badly to Mississippi State in both 2012 and 2014. The Jaguars were 0-4 against SEC opponents.Mississippi State: This is undeniably a crushing loss for the Bulldogs. It also calls into question just how much Mississippi State will have in the post-Dak Prescott era.UP NEXTSouth Alabama: The Jaguars host Georgia Southern next Saturday in their first Sun Belt game of the season.Mississippi State: The Bulldogs host South Carolina next Saturday in their first SEC game of the season.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. Who are the horses to keep an eye on during the Spring Carnival?Astern3yo bay coltMedaglia DOro-EssaouiraTrainer: John OSheaProved himself the best colt in the country courtesy of a frankly arrogant win the Group 1 Golden Rose.John OShea has laid his cards on the table by ruling out the Caulfield Guineas, meaning Astern will be kept to sprint journeys for the remainder of the Spring.OShea will be mindful of what went wrong with Exosphere when that colt was dropped in trip after winning last years Golden Rose.If the trainer has learned from that venture, Astern could stamp himself the best sprinting colt weve seen in years.Big Memory 7yo bay gelding Duke Of Marmalade - Nicara Trainer: Tony McEvoyWinless since the 2014 Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes, but the ex-French galloper has been luckless in defeat numerous times since.Really good run when resuming - he co-led with a horse which ran a long last but had the audacity himself to stick on for third - and looks in for a great prep.Its doubtful hell win a major, but Big Memory will be a force to be reckoned with in any tier-two middle-distance/staying events in which he is engaged.Hes Our Rokkii 4yo bay geldingRoc De Cambes - Clerihew Trainer: D & B Hayes & T DabernigPoised to become one of the stars of the spring. Co-trainer David Hayes has always held a high opinion of this gelding, and that faith is now being repaid handsomely.Hes Our Rokki concluded his Autumn campaign with a brace of Group 2s in Sydney (having started it in midweek benchmark company) and has done nothing but improve since.Good win first-up when clearly not ready, and made a mess of them next time in a Caulfield handicap. His level has not yet been found, but will surely get tested against Group I opponents over 1600-2000m soon. Dont be surprised if hes up to it.McCreery 5yo brown gelding Big Bad Bob - Dolma Trainer: Chris WallerA lightly raced former English racer, McCreery is into his third prep with Sydneys leading trainer, Chris Waller.Waller excels with this type of horse, and on the evidence of McCreerys past two efforts, both bloodless victories, the handler has got to the bottom of the five-year-old.History shows that when Waller runners find form, they hold it, and McCreery can take the next step, starting with the Epsom Handicap on October 1.Hartnell 6yo bay gelding Authorized - Debonnaire Trainer: John OShea The hulking bay is back with a bang this campaign, recording a pair of wide-margin victories at Randwick after a first-up second to Winx.John OShea has options aplenty with Hartnell, so dont be surprised to see the horse turn up in any of the Spring Group 1s over 2000m-plus.But, for a Group 1 WFA winner over 2400m, Hartnell looks dangerously well treated under 55kg in the Caulfield Cup, and that could be the race Godolphin targets with this quality stayer.Kevins Time 4yo bay horse Flying Spur - Lady Succeed Trainer: Darren Weir Not the highest-profile galloper to be listed in this coluumn, but a $5 winner is a $5 winner whatever the event.ddddddddddddKevins Time has had just five starts for Darren Weir, but the four-year-old has shown glimpses of rare quality from limited opportunities.A winner on debut before spelling, the entire returned in July and twice reeled off some excellent closing sectionals in defeat in midweek city grade.A facile winner last time when ridden upside down from the front at Pakenham, Kevins Time is progressive and can show up at odds in better company.Gallante 6yo bay gelding Montjeu - Crazy Volume Trainer: Robert Hickmott A Group 1 winner in France, Gallante finally discovered his old form when leading throughout to win the Sydney Cup during The Championships.Former European gallopers are usually worth following once find their feet down under, and Gallante showed there was even more in his locker when resuming with a slashing second to Jameka over an unsuitable 2000m.The Lloyd Williams army always has something to say in the Melbourne Spring, and Gallante could prove to be his leading contender in the Caulfield and/or Melbourne Cup.Dont Doubt Mamma 4yo bay mare Not A Single Doubt - Coconut Mamma Trainer: Tony McEvoyEvery trainer, every owner, wishes they had a Dont Doubt Mamma on their books.Ultra-game, ultra-reliable and ultra-talented, DDM showed she was in for another good campaign when defying the track bias to win along the rails in a competitive Group 3 for mares at Flemington.That course, and 1400m, is her go on all known evidence, but looks like shell get a mile. Its unclear where Tony McEvoy heads with Dont Doubt Namma, but she is a runner to have on your side in spring features for sprinter-milers and/or mares.Old North4yo bay or brown horse Lonhro - Bernicia Trainer: John OShea A really likeable entire who is flying under the radar in the early part of Spring.Old North was among the better middle-distance colts of his generation, taking out the Group 2 Tulloch Stakes before running into Hes Our Rokki at Randwick and concluding his Autumn prep with a close-up fourth against his elders in the Hollindale Stakes.Ignore his first-up flop in the Theo Marks when he pulled in the run. Old North is much better than that and will make his presence felt this spring, starting perhaps with the Shannon Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday.Rageese4yo bay horse Street Cry - Rabsha Trainer: Darren Weir One of the nations standout juveniles a couple of seasons back, Rageese went off the boil for a period but quickly rediscovered his form when joining the Darren Weir stable.Weir has had the son of Street Cry for just three starts, with two dominant victories preceding a complete forget run during the Brisbane winter.It would be no surprise if Raheese, who resumes from a carpark draw at Caulfield on Saturday, goes on another winning run for his new stable.
