It has been more than a month since Southern Miss played a football game, losing 34-17 to Florida Atlantic.
Despite a two-game losing streak, the Golden Eagles have a chance to end the 2019 campaign on a positive note.
Southern Miss (7-5, 5-3) will renew the old Battle for the Bell rivalry against Tulane (6-6, 3-5) in the 2019 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.
The two teams — separated by roughly 110 miles — meet for the first time in a bowl game and for the first time in a game played away from Hattiesburg or New Orleans.
