Thoughts on the Southern Miss loss to South Alabama

There is no way to sugarcoat what happened Thursday night. The Eagles got beat all over the field by a 2 win Sunbelt team that was near the bottom of every category on the offensive and defensive side of the ball in FBS. There is no need to look at stats or go back and watch film to break down this loss. It was obvious watching the game. Nothing can be blamed on Covid because USA had to deal with the same thing and they came out, to their credit, and hit the Eagles in the mouth. Here are a few thoughts I had on the game and what went wrong Thursday at The Rock.

A few quick thoughts from the game.....

1. The team was not mentally prepared to play. The penalties the Eagles committed were nothing more than mental.

2. There was a lack of effort from most of the team. Gore Jr, Bozeman, Perkins. Maples ayed with a lot of grit and heart, but for the most part it was if the team was going through the motions.

3. There was no discipline. This group does not play as a team. Too much jawing by the DB's after they were getting beat on the deep ball most of the night. Players arguing with coaches can not be tolerated, especially when another ayer has to get between player and coach to separate them.

There is one common denominator in all this. A poor job of getting team prepared to play.

More to come later.

I have a lot of respect for Jay Hopson the person. He and I grew up in the same town and he comes from a great family. I believe he is a man of honor, so he is simply over his head and should resign. He could get paid as much as a coordinator elsewhere. I think he was once Michigan's defensive coordinator.
The reality is the more games lost, the more likelihood for a coaching change.
