It wasn't always clear that we'd make it this far, but the 2020 college football season is here. And all eyes will be on Hattiesburg for the start.
Southern Miss will play host to the first FBS game of the season Thursday night when the Golden Eagles host South Alabama at 8 p.m. While various programs and conferences across the country have postponed or canceled their fall seasons because of the risks connected to playing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern Miss feels it has found a way to play safely with minimized risk despite the pandemic.
From a football perspective, Thursday should include an interesting mix of high-speed action and interesting unknowns being revealed.
