Tough Test for Southern Miss

So, not only did Southern Miss lose its opening game against Liberty, it took four overtimes to lose it.

That may come at a cost.

The Golden Eagles’ 29-27 overtime loss saw quarterback Ty Keys go 4-for-8 with two interceptions. A poor performance, but we loved what we saw from Frank Gore Jr. We’re not surprised by his top performance in the backfield, 178 yards, and two scores. However, college football odds aren’t respecting Gore Jr. or Southern Miss.

That’s likely because Southern Miss is one-dimensional. We’re not sure if that works against an impressive outfit of Hurricanes. Can Southern Miss do anything through the air?

Miami After Higher Ranking

We couldn’t have been more impressed with Miami in its opening game against an in-state foe, a 70-13 blowout.

This may be a sign of things to come. If the Miami Florida Hurricanes can produce a similar effort, their current No 15 ranking could see a drastic change. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was efficient, 13-16 for 193 yards. Henry Parrish Jr. ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns in the game.

The goal was to be 1-0 and that was achieved. There were a lot of bright spots and a lot of things showed up in a positive way in terms of physicality and conditioning and execution–particularly on the offensive side of the ball,” coach Mario Cristobal told 247 Sports after his ‘Cane debut.

Things that showed up that we have to work on in not such a positive light were a couple of penalties that need to be avoided. We can’t waste positive plays by having those penalties. Tackling was up and down. We had good moments and bad moments.

The Hurricanes are every chance of covering the sizable spread Saturday afternoon, with a lethal offense Southern Miss can’t match.

Southern Miss vs Miami Prediction

Give the running game for Southern Miss plenty of respect, but the Miami Hurricanes should be far too good.

NCAAF odds have Miami as huge favorite in this one. Despite those 24½ points being a tough number to cover, expect another blowout for the Hurricanes. Force Southern Miss to throw the ball, putting a turnover-prone quarterback in trouble here.
