This week, Southern Miss announced that its next scheduled game on Dec. 4 against the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) has been canceled due to COVID-19 issues on the Miners’ team.
“Due to the temporary suspension of team activities for the UTEP football program announced today, the Southern Miss game set for this Friday against the Miners in El Paso, Texas, has been canceled,” Southern Miss said in an official statement released online.
This is the second consecutive week that the Golden Eagles will not play due to cancellations. Last week, Southern Miss canceled its away game against UAB because of the Golden Eagles’ own issues with COVID.
