We’ve heard the phrase “unprecedented times” on countless occasions over the last several months.
Rice and Southern Miss prepare to settle a C-USA West battle in Hattiesburg, MS, this Saturday afternoon, but both programs have witnessed an unfathomable occurrence over the past week. For Rice, the team’s game-winning field goal attempt last Saturday resulted in a “quadruple doink”, colliding with the uprights four times before falling out. Middle Tennessee won in double overtime.
Meanwhile, Southern Miss already moved onto its third coach of the season. Jay Hopson stepped down from his head coaching role one game into the year and 30-year old co-offensive coordinator Scotty Walden assumed interim duties.
