LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama brought out the fireworks for its Homecoming contest – literally.  The Tiger offense orchestrated a new school record for rushing yards in a game en route to a 48-10 Gulf South Conference win over West Georgia at Tiger Stadium Saturday night.  UWA rolled up 467 yards on the ground, overriding the previous mark of 419 against Nicholls State in 1974.  The 38-point win snaps a three-game conference losing streak.

The scoring started early for the Red and White, as the Tigers scored on the game’s opening drive, closing out a ten play, 71-yard drive on Terry Allen’s first of two rushing touchdowns in the contest.  Allen, who was inserted into the quarterback position, tallied 176 yards rushing on 22 carries along with throwing for two touchdowns.  The yards posted by Allen is the most by a UWA quarterback since former Tiger signal caller James Reiter scampered 171 yards against Harding during the 2006 campaign.  The Huntsville, Ala.-native’s rushing mark ranks fourth all-time in the program’s history for rushing yards in a single game.  Allen scored UWA’s third touchdown of the half at the 7:11 mark of second period to take a 21-7 advantage into the halftime break.

The Tigers picked up right where they left off from the opening half, posting a pair of Dameon Baylor touchdown runs in the third quarter.  Baylor had touchdown runs of five and 43 yards in the period to extend the lead to 35-7.  Allen’s second passing touchdown came midway through the final period on an 18-yard pass to Terry Levy with 4:40 left in the contest.  Cole Mason closed out the scoring on the game’s longest run of the night, scampering 63 yards for the final points of the game.

UWA senior placekicker Mitch Warfield became the school’s all-time career scoring leader with his six point after attempts.  The Bay Minette, Ala,-product surpassed John Sedely’s (1995-97) mark of 169 points.  Warfield enters next week’s game at Ouachita Baptist with 172 points.

The GSC’s second-best defense held the Wolves to just 204 total yards on offense.  UWG got on the board with a five-yard touchdown from Sean Gray to Steven Billue with 11:26 in the second quarter.  The Wolves added a field goal in the final period.

UWA returns to the state of Arkansas for the fourth time this season, traveling to Arkadelphia, Ark. to face Ouachita Baptist on Saturday, Nov. 1.  Kick off is set for 1:30 p.m.
