Southern Miss stands in Huskies’ way of a strong finish to a rebuilding season

The Huskies look to close out 2015 with their third consecutive win in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against Southern Miss on Saturday.

DALLAS — Oddsmakers were skeptical of this Washington Huskies team before the season. Many others were too — appropriately so, it seemed at the time.

When the Huskies began fall camp in early August, they didn’t know who their starting quarterback was going to be. They didn’t know they were going to lose their best and most experienced offensive lineman two weeks before the season opener. They didn’t know how well their new-look front seven would be able to replace at that NFL talent lost on defense.
