Southern Miss football adjusts conference schedule, adds 12th game against North Alabama

HATTIESBURG — Southern Miss Director of Athletics Jeremy McClain announced a date change as well as an addition to the school’s 2020 football schedule Tuesday morning.

The Golden Eagles, which was set to begin Conference USA play Sept. 12 at home, pushed back its Louisiana Tech contest a week to Sept. 19. The Sept. 12 date now becomes an open date for Jay Hopson’s football program.

Southern Miss also added FCS-member North Alabama for its 12th game. That game takes place Nov. 7 at home, replacing Tennessee Tech which canceled last Friday due to the Ohio Valley Conference announcement of not participating in fall sports due to COVID-19.
