Fumbling away the opening kickoff is not a good way to start a game.

Tate and Jack should both be back and look for Tate to get many more snaps than he usually does. Both QB's will get playing time.

Foxy should be back.

Tim Jones should play. I think he could have played, but no reason to chance him when so many CUSA games left.

Gore Jr has turf toe. That is a nagging injury, but should be OK and will probably be limited this week.

That is all I know as of now. Will let u know more when I find out.

Anyone have a video of the team singing the fight song in the locker room after the game? I would love to see it!!

Well,here we are. Eagles must win this game....

I don’t know about you guys but the ride back to Daphne after a win is always better than a loss. I know the opponent was subpar but I’ll still take it. Black & Gold always!!!

Well, no report card last weekend because honestly, there wasn’t much to report. Here’s my take on yesterday’s effort:

Overall-C
Offense-D
Defense-A
Special Teams-D
Coaching-C
The defense kept us in this one. UNA had under 200 yards total offense, 13 points and only 11 first downs. Hayes and Latham are contributing at a high level every weekend and it was enough to hold off a much less talented opponent. Offense had 3 turnovers and only 100 yards passing; but, 245 rush yards was the winner yesterday. Congrats to Gore/Mayberry/Perkins for a job well done. Turnovers (4) kept this from being a blow out. Special teams allowed an early UNA touchdown and had a blocked field goal plus an out of bounds kickoff. In a close game, this would have cost us a win.
Billings said all the right things during his walk off interview after the first half, and it looked like they (coaching staff) made the necessary adjustments to win! If the defense, who has put together 6 straight good quarters, keeps playing well and we can get everyone back on offense next weekend, we may keep it respectable against WKU. Have a great week,
‘Stead

Dennis Bohannon, a big USM supporter and mainstay at Golden Eagle sporting events passed away last night. He did the stats for West Jones and passed away at his home after getting back from Brookhaven. He was a great man and a friend to many. He will be missed!!! For all on here who went to West Jones and played sports in Jones County, he was a beloved figure!! Pray for his family during this difficult time!!!

Here is what we know:
Tate and Jack Abraham are both out due to concussions.
Timmy Jones had a good week of practice, will play, but Hammy is still bothering him.
Coker is probably out, Not sure about Foxy. Doss and Scott will probably play the Guards of Foxy can't go.
Sykes should be back. Injury not as bad as they first thought.
Clopton will be back at Center.

This is what I know at this time. Continue to keep checking for updates.

He played vs Southern Miss back in 2016 when he was at Savannah State.

Well, what do you all think about this?

It is usually the other way around, but all of NCAA is taking off for voting per Billings. Good move here everyone should vote IMO.

Just wanted to give you guys a head's up. Due to unseen circumstances, there is no post practice interviews this week. For individuals privacy I am not going to reveal why. I can tell you that this issue it is not the fault of the team or athletic department.

Right now I am not sure there will be any has he has already hired 2 with no background at Southern Miss. I am curious as to the reason or reasons why or why not. Did the AD place the rest of the coaches at Southern Miss off-limits for the remainder of the season? Do the other Southern Miss coaches not want to work for Walden? Does Walden not want to hire anyone from Southern Miss? Is it a money issue at Austin Peay?

CUSA basketball games will be played back to back on Friday and Saturday instead of Thursday and Saturday. Not sure how this is supposed to be better for the players, but when has CUSA ever done anything smart.
