The game didn’t exactly go as most expected, for any number of reasons. Pick an exciting play, any one of the wonderful, horrible or just odd moments of entertainment, and few saw them coming in the seconds before.
But at least one of the moments, while a surprise to the record crowd watching Southern Mississippi host Mississippi State, was completely, absolutely expected by the 5’8” running back who made the electric play.
5:39, first quarter: USM led 3-0 while MSU had only held the ball for a total of one minute and one second, spending the majority of the quarter watching the Golden Eagles move the ball with varying levels of success.
