South has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last seven times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of John Hamilton, who gained 139 total yards and four touchdowns.
Another reason for the win was Pieper's imposing defensive line, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Kaden Glass.
