Southern Miss (3-4, 2-2 C-USA) continued its C-USA stretch against Charlotte (4-4, 2-2 C-USA) in what turned out to be a day filled with struggles for the Golden Eagles’ offensive unit.
“We didn’t execute at a high enough level, but we fought, we fought for 60 minutes and gave ourselves a chance to get back in it,” Southern Miss Head Coach Jay Hopson said. “[Quarterback] Tate [Whatley] came in and did some really good things. We got back down 20-17 and we went for the onside kick, and we fought till the end and that’s what I love about our football team, is we fight until the end.
