On Tuesday afternoon, Southern Miss announced that it had canceled its next scheduled game against UAB due of COVID-related issues on the team.
“The Southern Miss football game set for Friday, Nov. 27, at UAB has been canceled due to precautionary reasons resulting from COVID-19 concerns within the Golden Eagle program,” Southern Miss said in an official statement released online.
This marks the third game that Southern Miss has canceled or postponed this year. Earlier this season, Southern Miss postponed its matchup against University of Texas at El Paso due to an increase in COVID-19 cases on its team.
