Why Southern Miss Will Win

Score 15 points and you probably have the Hilltoppers.

WKU was able to score a few points early on in the season, but it hasn’t pushed past 14 points in any of the last five games.

The offense continues to be among the least effective in college football – it has only thrown for over 200 yards once and hasn’t ran for more than 160 – with way too many mistakes, no ground game, and a total inability to convert on third downs.

Southern Miss has a world of problems, but it’s able to complete a downfield pass and stretch the field a bit. The Golden Eagles will get the O going, but …

Why WKU Will Win

WKU, if you ever had any sort of a passing attack to get moving, this would be the time to unleash it.

The Golden Eagles were able to hold down North Alabama, but everyone else’s passing game is getting fat off this secondary. Want to run? USM’s defense will be happy to oblige.

There’s almost no consistent pressure in the backfield and the key third down stops are a rumor. The biggest issue, though, is the inability to hang on to the ball, turning it over seven times in the last two games going a -5 in turnover margin.

WKU could use the help.

What’s Going To Happen

Can WKU finally start moving the chains and put up some points? The defense will force enough mistakes to give the offense a few good chances. It’s WKU, so the O will blow it, of course, but it’ll still be able generate just enough scoring drives leading to late field goals to hold on after an early touchdown.

Southern Miss can still win the West. It has to beat WKU this week and Florida Atlantic next week, and it needs Louisiana Tech to lose to either UAB or UTSA.

WKU can still win the East, but it’s going to need a bunch of help. It has to beat USM and then Middle Tennessee, and then get Marshall and Florida Atlantic to lose twice.

No matter what, it’s been a great turnaround season for the Hilltoppers, even with the losses to slide all but out of the Conference USA race. It’s been two weeks since the 45-19 win over Arkansas that ended up getting Chad Morris fired, and now it’s rested.

WKU doesn’t take the ball away, but it’s playing some of the best D in the conference, and the team dominates the time of possession battle by being great on third downs, helped by a terrific passing game.

USM’s defense will do its part with its fantastic pass rush, and it’ll do a good job of controlling the clock on its own side. At home, the great Golden Eagle lines will be just a wee bit better in a good, tight, four quarter battle.
