With Tim Billings taking over as Interim Head Coach after Scotty Walden’s departure to Austin Peay, Southern Miss focuses on winning its next conference matchup this weekend against the Rice University Owls.
Despite starting the season with a 1-4 overall record, Southern Miss is only 1-1 in conference play. Southern Miss was scheduled to play against conference opponents Florida Atlantic and UTEP, but those games were postponed to later dates due to COVID-related issues. This weekend will give Southern Miss the chance to keep a steady pace towards the conference championship.
Last week, the undefeated Liberty University Flames crushed Southern Miss 35-56.
