The Southern Miss Golden Eagles (3-3, 2-1 C-USA) made their long-anticipated return to The Rock on Saturday, defeating the University of Texas-San Antonio (3-5, 2-2 C-USA) 27-17 for a victory on homecoming.
In a game full of career highs, along with yet another efficient passing performance from redshirt sophomore quarterback Jack Abraham, Southern Miss constructed a big advantage on the scoreboard early on that proved too great for the Roadrunners to overcome. Head Coach Jay Hopson said that after a long, three-week road trip, it felt good to be back at M.M. Roberts Stadium for a football game.
