It was not only the second 200-yard, three-score game of the season for Vidal - he also rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns against Arkansas State in October - it was also the second straight season in which a Trojan rushed for at least three touchdowns in the SBC title game, as DK Billingsley rushed for three scores in last year's contest. The junior running back continued his career year Saturday, rushing for a championship-game-record 233 yards and scoring five touchdowns. However, the defense held App State to a field goal, and four more touchdowns - interrupted by only a garbage-time Appalachian State score late in the fourth - kept the deficit comfortable.
