Southern Miss (20-23) hosted No. 4 Alabama (36-7) this past Tuesday losing 7-1. The Golden Eagles came into the contest after a dominant offensive showcase against the University of Texas at San Antonio this past weekend but failed to repeat the offensive showing against the Crimson Tide.
Southeastern Conference opponents have proved to be Southern Miss’ kryptonite as the Golden Eagles have only won one out of their last five games against an opponent in that conference.
“One thing we have to learn is – no matter who we play, no matter what uniform they are wearing – we can play anybody,” said coach Wendy Hogue.
