NEW ORLEANS — Southern Miss has the special win coach Will Hall has been craving.

The Golden Eagles (2-2) snapped a two-game losing streak in the Battle for the Bell, beating Tulane, 27-24, Saturday night in their most significant victory since Hall took over the program after the 2020 season.

It looked like another lost performance for the Southern Miss offense through 30 minutes of football.

USM managed only 4 yards per play in the first half, its 10 points resulting from two outstanding special teams plays that set Southern Miss up in Tulane territory.
