Southern Miss will be playing with a new head coach after Charles Huff left for Memphis after just one year at Southern Miss, where he produced a 7-5 record, which was a massive improvement from 1-11 the year before. Offensive coordinator Blake Anderson was named the new head coach just four days later, which will help maintain continuity for the Eagles, especially on the offensive side. Turnovers have plagued Western Kentucky, and forcing them has been a Southern Miss strength. The Eagles are led by QB Braylon Braxton, who has thrown for 2,796 yards and 23 TDs with only seven interceptions. They have nearly a full roster available with no transfers or opt-outs. The Hilltoppers lost their last two games to LSU and Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks piled up 515 total yards of offense, including 293 on the ground on 6.1 per carry. The Eagles have the motivation edge as they want to impress their new head coach, particularly the underclassmen who will likely be there next year. Take Southern Miss.
