1. We saw greatness and something special from Gore Jr. Yes the OL did a good job of blocking, but a few of those long runs were him making the first guy miss and having DB's out there doing the moonwalk trying to tackle him.
2. The defense still had laps in judgement throughout the game but stood tall when needed at the end. Don't know what it is about the Golden Eagles being up 2 TD's that causes the defense to get lackadaisical, but it happens. Gill was a beast. He is the best portal pick-up that Hall and Armstrong have made. He saved this defense when injuries to Maples amd Bozeman happened early in the season.
3.Special Teams was solid. Briggs and Mason were both good. Lange needs some props for handling bad snaps. He saved so many points this season. Holding is a hard task and a thankless position.
4. Lowe was what this team needed at the right time. It didn't need a QB to win games just manage it, and that is what he did. All why going toward his doctorate, mighty impressive young man.
5. Hall and staff took over a team with 62 scholarship players and won 3 games in 2021. Scholarship numbers are up at 82 but still now at full strength and they won 7 games this season. That is progress and that shows momentum is in the Golden Eagles' corner.
6. Time to use this bowl win as a platform to make a push in recruiting. Don't be shocked if another QB is taken from the portal. Look for a few OL and another DB as well. Should be fun to watch.
Heck of a season, thanks for having fun with us. Hope you all enjoyed the coverage. Now, on to basketball. Southern Miss is 11-1 with a trip to UNLV Thursday. We used to say, "let's get ready for baseball." Not this season.....
