Southern Miss vs. Louisiana Prediction

Southern Mississippi has been on the rise this year in the Sun Belt. They are having a memorable season and sitting only two games out from being bowl eligible for the first time in a long time. This team is just doing enough to squeak by and win games this season.

Last week they scored with 35 seconds left to beat Texas State in a crazy game. Their defense has been the strong point all season and their offense is doing just enough. Their offense is led by Frank Gore Jr., the son of Future Hall of Famer Frank Gore.

Gore Jr has over 550+ rushing yards with four touchdowns on the season. But what makes this Southern Mississippi offense go is the defense. Their defense has been super solid all season and are only allowing 21 PPG. They play another great defense in Louisiana Lafayette tonight who only allows 19PPG. Both of these teams have really relied on their defenses a lot.

This game should be a very low-scoring game. Both of these teams' defenses have been top-notch all season long and their offenses have been shaky at times. But one reason why I really favor Southern Mississippi tonight is they are at home.

They are 2-1 at home this season and their only loss was to Liberty in four overtImes. This team is very good and they brought life back to the university. The fans will defiantly come out for the big Thursday Sun Belt game. Southern Mississippi sits at 2-1 in the Sun Belt and this win can go a long way at the end of the season. They are still in contention for Sun Belt Championship also. But they really need to win every game they can. I really trust this defense to give LLU quarterback a lot of problems. This defense is averaging over 1.5 turnovers a game. A turnover in this low-scoring game could become a huge turn of events.

I honestly have been following this Southern Mississippi team a lot and they crashed my bet last week. Now it’s time to ride the hot hand. This team is just doing enough every week to win their games. So with this one I really expect the home crowd to get behind this team. Southern Mississippi is really going to try to get Gore Jr. going early in this matchup. Louisiana Lafayette also hasn’t been the greatest versus the run game this year. Look for Southern Mississippi to wear and tear on this LLU Defense and win late in this one. Let’s rock Southern Mississippi ML.
