Southern Miss on the schedule next year

The team that spanked Houston this afternoon is I think the first team on our schedule next year. Didn't see all the game but the parts I saw it looked like SM came to play. I'm not saying they are world class, but they are the winners of their conference with a signature win over an undefeated team. I don't know if they are a team loaded with seniors or how many will be back next fall. The boys better have their helmets strapped on tight for that first game!

 
18 INT's on the year. 8 for TD's. Total D is ranked 26th. The secondary is solid. Their DC came over from Zook and Illinois this year. IIRC, switched Southern Miss to a more 4-2-5 look.

IMHO, they have and always are a trap game.

Starting QB is a senior (threw for over 3000 yds this year), best WR is a senior as well. Their leading rusher (600 yds.) is a freshman. They lost two games in the CUSA, one of those were to UAB, which got beat by FAU (1-10) last week....

It should be a good test, but they are losing guys...

This is true. And then there is the chance that Larry Fedora leaves. His name is appearing a little more every day.

Another good point.... He has the look of a good coach, glad to see Houston go down today, they were way overrated....

It makes it more likely we'll see Michigan get a BCS invite. I like that.

 
Is next year at SM? I plan on going the year it's away. I want to visit all 50 states and figured this would be the best time to cross Mississippi off the list. :)

 
Never really seems like we're ready for the 1st game of the season. Had a couple of close calls against teams we should have plowed over. Usually play a bit better the second game........Next year is going to be interesting. All Pelini's guys now.

No. It's in Lincoln in 2012. It'll be in Hattiesburg, MS in 2013 though.

We certainly shouldn't take this game lightly but Fedora will likely be gone and USM does lose a fair amount of guys. Fedora's name is hot, have to think he takes advantage.
