Southern Miss vs Middle Tennessee Game Preview

Why Southern Miss Will Win

The defense hasn’t been all that bad.

It’s not the rock it needs to be – especially against the run – but it’s not the overall problem. It hasn’t allowed more than 400 yards in six of the seven games – Alabama is the only team to go off – and it should be good enough to keep the Middle Tennessee attack from taking over the game.

The Blue Raiders don’t do much on the ground and the O overall averages 350 yards per game. The Golden Eagle defensive front should make things happen behind the line, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

Why Middle Tennessee Will Win

Yeah, the Southern Miss offense. It’s a problem.

The running game would be the statistically worst in America by far if it didn’t go off against Grambling. It hasn’t hit 100 yards in any of the last five games, and the passing game isn’t steady enough to pick up the slack.

Southern Miss came up with a grand total of 107 yards of total offense in the loss to UAB two weeks ago.

Middle Tennessee leads the nation in turnover margin, the defensive front will live in the Southern Miss backfield, and …

– College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not going to take much for the Blue Raiders to take over, and they’ll do it on the ground.

They’d like to be balanced, but the Southern Miss run defense has been a problem over the last month allowing over 200 yards in three of the last four games. It’ll be a third win in the last four games for a surging Middle Tennessee team that stays alive in the chase for a bowl bid.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

UAB vs Southern Miss Game Preview

Why UAB Will Win

Be surprised if Southern Miss runs the ball more than two feet.

The Golden Eagles are starting to find a passing game, but the offensive front hasn’t generated a lick of a push for the ground attack over the last month, failing to get to 100 yards in any of the last four games and averaging just 2.5 yards per carry.

Throw in the lack of third down conversion, a whole slew of turnovers, and a line that leads the nation in most tackles for loss allowed, and UAB should be able to take advantage of both things, especially with the takeaways.

– Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Southern Miss Will Win

The UAB hasn’t seen a penalty it hasn’t liked to commit.

The Blazers are averaging close to ten flags a game – with ten or more in four of the six games – for a whopping 91 yards an outing. Southern Miss gets hit with lots and lots of flags, too, but at least this week it gets a bit of a break – the mistakes should be even.

Offensively, the ground game might be struggling, but the passing attack has perked up with 560 yards over the last two weeks after failing to get to 200 yards in any of the first four games. Freshman Jake Lange might not be much of a runner, and interceptions have been an issue, but at least the offense is starting to move a little more through the air.

– Week 7 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

UAB hasn’t been perfect, and the offense has to start doing a whole lot more after failing to get past 325 yards in either of the last two games, but the defense will take over.

The Blazer run D won’t allow more than 50 yards, the secondary will pick off a few passes, and it’ll be a second straight easy win after taking out Florida Atlantic 31-14.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

UTEP vs Southern Miss Game Preview

Why UTEP Will Win

UTEP is actually playing well in tight games.

It’s not beating anyone great, but who cares? Southern Miss isn’t all that great.

The Miners are getting timely play from their defense, they’re great overall at holding on to the ball – at least when it comes to controlling the clock – and the offensive line isn’t allowing anything behind the line.

On the flip side, the Southern Miss offense isn’t going anywhere. There’s no running game over the last three weeks and there are way, way too many turnovers. But …

– Week 6 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Southern Miss Will Win

UTEP’s offense isn’t exactly lighting it up.

The defense has been solid, but there’s no running game over the last three weeks, the team hasn’t hit 350 yards of total offense during the span, and there are way, way too many penalties, special teams issues, and mediocre passing problems for a team that’s 4-1.

Southern Miss is way overdue for a good day.

The passing game worked in the 24-19 loss to Rice, there’s good pressure from the defensive front, and UTEP isn’t going to run the ball.

– Week 6 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Is UTEP really good enough to be 5-1?

Southern Miss has to finally get the O going against an FBS team, but the Miners are playing just well enough defensively to pull this off. However, both teams are overdue to go the other way with their respective momentum.

UTEP’s wins have come at home, with the exception of the layup against New Mexico State. Southern Miss went on the road to deal with Alabama and Rice, and this week the passing game should click just enough to push ahead and finally get something positive going after a rough start.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Southern Miss vs Rice Game Preview

Why Southern Miss Will Win

The Golden Eagles might be having a few issues with their offense – at least against FBS teams – but all things considered, the run defense hasn’t been too bad.

Alabama ran for 211 yards last week, but no one else has been able to get to 60 yards on the ground. There’s a good pass rush and plenty of tackles for loss to get to the running games before they get started.

Rice wants and needs to run the ball to survive, but it’s only got moving against Texas Southern and hasn’t been able to do too much against anyone else.

Making things worse, Rice can’t do anything in the red zone. It has the nation’s worst D inside the 20 and the second-worst O, but …

– Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Rice Will Win

Southern Miss doesn’t have the offense to take advantage of Rice’s defensive problems – and that includes when it has a shot to put points on the board in the red zone.

Like Rice, Southern Miss only produced on the ground against the FCS team on the schedule. It was stuffed for -1 yard on the ground against Troy and hasn’t pushed past 125 yards against anyone else.

The passing game isn’t helping – the Golden Eagles have yet to come up with more than 160 yards through the air.

– Week 5 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams aren’t just looking for a real win, they’re looking to merely be productive.

Rice will be come up with more offensive balance and will do far more to control the clock. Both teams are even enough to keep this interesting, but the Owls will get a little more out of their offensive front in the second half.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Alabama vs Southern Miss Game Preview

Why Southern Miss Will Win

The Golden Eagles are playing a little defense.

The pass rush has been strong over the first three games along with plenty of plays in the backfield. No, USM hasn’t played anyone amazing, but it has yet to allow more than 60 rushing yards and hasn’t given up more than 304 yards of total offense.

There isn’t enough firepower to matter offensively, but the team knows how to play with a decent tempo and should at least be able to shorten the game a bit.

– Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why Alabama Will Win

The Southern Miss offense won’t go anywhere.

It wasn’t bad against Grambling, but South Alabama didn’t allow much of anything, and Troy stuffed Frank Gore Jr. and company allowing just -1 net rushing yard.

The bigger problem for the Golden Eagles is interest. Nick Saban has been less than thrilled with the team’s 60-minute effort over the first three games – the letdown against Florida is looming large – and with Ole Miss and Texas A&M coming up, four quarter intensity is going to matter.

It shouldn’t take more than a few early scores to put this away.

– Week 4 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Alabama is going to come out smoking, and Southern Miss is going to get in the way.

This is still a young team. Even for Alabama, replacing star players isn’t always easy. Of course the team is amazing, but there are just enough mistakes to make this a tone-setting game attitude-wise for what’s up next.

Any scores for Southern Miss would be a success.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Troy (1-1) vs Southern Miss (1-1) Game Preview

Why Troy Will Win

Troy gave a push to a very, very good Liberty team in a 21-13 loss.

The defense is outstanding, it’s holding running games in check, and it has enough offensive parts to own third downs all while not turning the ball over.

It’s a well-coached, veteran team that’s not giving up big plays through the air and should be able to keep the still-emerging Southern Miss offense in check.

The Golden Eagles aren’t doing anything on third downs because of an inefficient passing game without much of a threat down the field. There’s plenty of dinking and dunking going on, and the midrange throws were there in the blowout win over Grambling, but the Troy defense is a whole different animal.

– Week 3 College Football Expert Picks

Why Southern Miss Will Win

The win over Grambling was encouraging.

Southern Miss got star RB Frank Gore Jr. loose for 162 yards, Trey Lowe had an effective passing game – even if there wasn’t anything explosive – and the offense started to move.

This is all going to be a work in progress as Will Hall is just getting his era going, but the pass rush is solid, there are a whole lot of plays being made in the backfield, and there’s hope if the team can get off to a hot start at home.

However …

– Week 3 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Southern Miss has a turnover issue early on.

Troy hasn’t been air tight, but it’s been able to generate four takeaways in the first two games, the defense has been great overall, and the offensive balance should be just enough to pull this off.

On the other side, the Golden Eagles have five turnovers so far, and the passing game isn’t effective enough to push through after getting down early.

Southern Miss (0-1) vs Grambling (1-0) Game Preview

Why Grambling Will Win

The Tigers didn’t do much of anything offensively in the 16-10 win over Tennessee State, but they got the win with a good defensive performance of their own.

It sort of helped that the Tigers on the other side got hit with 18 penalties, but the defense did its job and QB Elijah Walker ran well enough to keep things moving.

Southern Miss didn’t do a thing to keep South Alabama out of the backfield in a 31-7 loss. The D wasn’t good against the pass, the O was awful after a 7-0 lead, and …

– Week 2 College Football Expert Picks

Why Southern Miss Will Win

Southern Miss could’ve used the Grambling game first before playing USA.

The Golden Eagles might have struggled overall, but the defense got in the Jaguar backfield and didn’t allow a thing against the run. It’s going to be a long road back in the reboot, but in this, the defense is about to be a brick wall against the Grambling ground game.

– Week 1 NFL Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

The offense will be better.

RB Frank Gore Jr. didn’t have a whole lot of room to move, and QB Trey Lowe struggled to find anything to work down the field, but the O line will have a better day and this week, the early lead will hold up.

Southern Miss (0-0) vs South Alabama (0-0) Game Preview

Why Southern Miss Will Win

New head coach Will Hall has a veteran offense returning – it’s going to be stronger and more consistent as the season goes on.

The running backs are in place to get going right away, there’s a big QB in Trey Lowe to be the man to run everything around, and this might quietly be among the best receiving corps in Conference USA.

The South Alabama defense still has plenty of work to do, and it starts with a secondary that could use a whole lot more help from a pass rush that has to prove it can work. However …

– Week 1 College Football Schedule. Prediction

Why South Alabama Will Win

New head coach Kane Wommack inherits most of the team’s top tacklers from 2020. At the very least, it’s going to be a veteran group with a much better rotation.

The veterans on one side go along with the super senior quarterback on the other. Jake Bentley moved from South Carolina to Utah to South Alabama, and he now gets to work under offensive coordinator Major Applewhite along with one of the best groups of receivers in the Sun Belt.

Southern Miss has to prove it can rush the passer, and the secondary has to be a whole lot better than it was throughout last year.

– Week 1 College Football Expert Picks

What’s Going To Happen

South Alabama pulled off a shocker in the 2020 opener with a 32-21 victory over Southern Miss thanks to a defensive front that was far more energetic. Both sides will bring the fire this time around.

This year’s Jaguar team should be a whole lot better, but Southern Miss will be stronger, too.

Both passing games will work, and both new starting quarterbacks will come up with nice performances, but – in a reverse of 2020 – the Southern Miss defensive line will take over the South Alabama offensive front as the game goes on.

The Golden Eagles will generate a bit more of a running game, too.

2021 CFN Conference USA Preseason Rankings: East

1. Marshall Thundering Herd

Quick Take: It’s one of the most interesting Group of Five teams coming into the 2021 season – it’s Conference USA title or bust. New head man Charles Huff has to pull the Herd offense out of the nosedive that screwed up 2020, and he’s got the parts in place to do it – especially for the passing game. If the D isn’t the best in the conference, it’s second.
Marshall Preview | Schedule

2. WKU Hilltoppers

Quick Take: The Hilltoppers will be deep in the hunt for the Conference USA title – at the very least, they’ll be among the top three teams. The pass rush will be a killer, but the real fun comes with an upgraded passing game. WKU took the parts from a big-time Houston Baptist air show to revamp the O.
WKU Preview | Schedule

3. Florida Atlantic Owls

Quick Take: Willie Taggart should have his Owls in the mix for the Conference USA title. The lines are among the best in the league, the special teams should be great, and if the quarterback play is fine, everything is there to come up with a big season.
FAU Preview | Schedule

[lawrence-related id=532444]

4. FIU Golden Panthers

Quick Take: After an ugly 2020, Butch Davis should have a whole lot more success in 2021. It starts with one of the league’s most talented secondaries, a good kicking game, and a promising ground game that should take more control of games.
FIU Preview | Schedule

5. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

Quick Take: The Blue Raiders will be in for a weird season. The team isn’t all that great, but it should push for a bowl game with a whole lot of winnable games built into the slate. The secondary is good thanks to the best group of safeties in the league, but can the offense keep up the pace?
MTSU Preview | Schedule

6. Charlotte 49ers

Quick Take: The 49ers should have a decent passing game, but can the defense hold up? There’s experience, and the coaching is solid, but the schedule doesn’t have a lot of breaks – the 49ers miss most of the easier teams from the West.
Charlotte Preview | Schedule

7. Old Dominion Monarchs

Quick Take: Welcome back, ODU football. After taking last year off, and with head coach Ricky Rahne having to wait a season to get his era going, this is Conference USA’s biggest wild-card team. What’s going to work right away? The offense should get going early on.
