Saturday night at The Rock in Hattiesburg, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles took down the Northwestern State Demons 64-10. The matchup was one of the best USM has had in recent years in terms of defensive and offensive numbers. This was the first game in which USM put more than 60 points on the board since their 2017 66-21 win against Charlotte. Magee natives Zay Franks and Chandler Pittman saw time on the field Saturday, with Franks getting a 58 yard catch for a touchdown. After the win Saturday, USM climbed from 7th to 4th in the West Division of the Sun Belt.

Next week, USM will travel to New Orleans to reopen a 43-year old rivalry with the Tulane Green Wave in a battle known as the Battle for the Bell. Right now, the bell is at Tulane after their September 2020 meeting where Tulane won 66-24 over the Golden Eagles. Currently, however, USM leads the series with 23 wins and 9 losses.

Northwestern State will face Lamar at home in Natchitoches, Louisiana, as they search for their first win of the season.

Here are some stats from Saturday Night’s game:

 

  1. Game Yardage
