Media InformationMedia Credentials

All credential requests for Southern Miss home games should be directed to Jack Duggan, Assistant Director of Athletics/Media Relations, IN WRITING at least seven days prior to the game. Credentials will be screened and issued on a priority basis, with national publications, daily newspapers, wire services, originating radio and television networks, television tape crews and student newspapers from Southern Miss and the visiting school receiving top priority. Requests from weekly newspapers and radio stations that cover Southern Miss or the visiting team on a regular basis also will be honored on a space-available basis.

Credentials for Internet sites will be granted to the official Southern Miss Athletics site, the visiting team’s official Web site and the Conference USA’s official Web site, as well as internet companies that run sports-related content websites only if the company in question meets both of the following criteria. The website in question must be directly affiliated with a traditional news service, agency or company and employ a full-time staff. Also, the individuals representing the website in question must be a legitimate sports/news reporter and must provide written authorization from their respective editor to illustrate that they are directly affiliated with a traditional news service, agency or company. A letter from anyone other than an editor will not be accepted. The Athletic Media Relations Office has the final authority on whether any individuals from any organization will be issued media credentials. Space also will be made available to professional scouts when available. We do not provide complimentary tickets to the media.

All credentials not mailed or picked up at the Athletic Media Relations Office prior to game day may be picked up at the press WILL CALL ticket window, located on the southwest side of Roberts Stadium.

Spouses, dates, equipment carriers and non-workers are restricted from the press box, sidelines and the locker rooms. Any abuse of a credential to a Southern Miss athletic event will result in the media agency losing credential privileges for the remainder of the season.

Sideline/Photo DeckSouthern Miss follows guidelines established

by the NCAA Public Relations Committee, the American Football Coaches Association, and the National Photographers Association. Photographers are not permitted to shoot between the 25-yard lines and must wear credential and vest at all times. Vest requests should accompany normal credentials requests and will be issued on the same priority as working credentials.

Credentials will not be issued to freelance photographers unless they are employed by a reputable publication or by the sports information office. Photo vests also will not be mailed and must be picked up in the press box beginning two hours prior to kickoff. The sideline pass/vest combination also can be used for access to the photo deck located immediately in front of (and access gained through)

the press box. Be prepared to show identification when picking up credentials.

Sidelines will be monitored, and only working media personnel will be permitted on the sideline.

Press ParkingParking is limited, and passes will be issued

on the same priority basis as the working media credentials. Requests for parking credentials should be submitted to Jack Duggan, Assistant Director of Athletics/Media Relations.

Road Game CredentialsMedia members covering Southern Miss may

make road-game credential requests either through the home school or the Southern Miss Athletic Media Relations Office, unless otherwise noted.

The Ace Cleveland Press BoxSouthern Miss’ Ace Cleveland Press Box is

located between the lower and upper decks on the west side of Roberts Stadium and is reached via the Gate 2 ramp or either the elevator to the fifth floor through Gate 4. The main working area seats approximately 60, and booths are available for home and visiting radio and home and visiting coaches.

ServicesThe Southern Miss Athletic Media Relations

Office will provide game programs, flip cards, notes and complete statistics, prior to the game. Play-by-play will be available at the end of each quarter and stat summaries at halftime and the end of the game. Complete play-by-play, team and individual stats and coaches’ quote booklets will be available as soon as possible, following the end of the game.

Postgame stats, notes and pertinent information will be faxed upon request. A pregame meal is served, starting approximately 1 1⁄2 hours prior to kickoff and a dessert is served at halftime.

InternetWireless internet is also available without cost

for working media in the Ace Cleveland Press Box. Please check with a member of the Southern Miss Athletic Media Relations staff for a code to get access.

Interview PoliciesMedia representatives desiring access to players,

coaches and facilities must obtain the consent of the Athletic Media Relations Office. A general idea of what interviews are about may be requested; however, players and coaches will determine if they will do interviews or answer questions, not Athletic Media Relations personnel.

The locker room is closed to the media at all times (preseason practice, game week, postgame and spring football). Nearby meeting rooms, lobbies and hallways are utilized for interviews. A member of the Athletic Media Relations Office will be on hand to help arrange interviews before meetings and following all practices. Members of the media should submit their interview requests to Athletic Media Relations personnel prior to the end of practice.

Dates to Remember

The press box at M. M. Roberts Stadium is named after former University of Southern Mississippi Sports Information Director Robert H. “Ace” Cleveland. Cleveland joined the University staff in

September 1955 and retired in 1986. He passed away on April 17, 1995, at the age of 68.

The Hattiesburg native and Southern Miss gradu-ate began his career at the University as Assistant Director of Public Relations and Sports Information. He was appointed Director two years later and worked in that capacity until Public Relations and Sports Information were split in 1970. He then began concentrating solely on athletics.

During his career, Ace witnessed 325 consecu-tive Golden Eagle football games, the third-longest

streak at that time among sports information direc-tors in the country. His support of the Golden Eagles continued until his death.

Prior to joining the University staff, he was a news reporter/sports editor for the Hattiesburg American for just over eight years and a sportswriter for the Jackson Daily News for one year.

Ace, and his wife, Carrie, who passed away in July 1996, had two sons, both sportswriters. Rick is the current director of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, and Bobby writes for Mississippi Sportsman.

In 1980, Ace was inducted into the Mississippi Sportswriters (MSWA) Hall of Fame as one of five charter members. He was inducted into The University of Southern Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 1985 and into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.

THE

UNIVERSITY

Founded in 1910, The University of Southern Mississippi has grown from a small teachers’

college to a comprehensive doctoral and research-driven institution with a diverse student body of approximately 16,000 students from 67 foreign countries, all regions of the United States and every corner of Mississippi.

With a proud history and an eye on the future, the University maintains a tradition of success in both academics and athletics, offering undergradu-ate and graduate degrees in more than 180 programs through six degree-granting colleges. A dual-campus university, Southern Miss serves students on cam-puses in Hattiesburg and Long Beach, in addition to five teaching and research sites in Mississippi.

Hattiesburg CampusCharacterized by history and tradition, the

Hattiesburg campus sits on 300 acres in the middle of the city. More than 180 buildings dot a landscape that has been transformed into a pedestrian-friendly environment for students, employees and visitors. From the rustic, industrial feel of the Power House Restaurant to the ultra-modern Trent Lott Center, the campus has a character and charm all its own in the heart of an urban setting.

Gulf Park CampusSurrounded by live oak trees and sitting along

the waters of the Gulf of Mexico sound, the 52-acre Gulf Park campus in Long Beach provides a beauti-ful setting for both learning and research. Not only is it the only beachfront campus in the state, but the Gulf Park campus offers educational opportuni-ties ranging from freshman coursework to doctoral degree programs.

Providing an experience that lasts a lifetimeThe University is nationally recognized for its

work in the arts, polymer and marine sciences, busi-ness, nursing, health, and education, among other programs. Students at Southern Miss are afforded international experience through study-abroad pro-grams in more than 20 countries including the popu-lar British Studies program in London.

Conducting transformative researchAs the premier research university of the Gulf

South, Southern Miss takes pride in being classified as a RU/H: Research University (high research activ-ity) by the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching among doctorate-granting universities.

As a proven leader in innovation, Southern Miss is generating real-world solutions through transfor-mative research. In fact, a recent research project was one of only two worldwide selected by NASA to be conducted on the International Space Station.

Making an impact on the communityBy going beyond the boundaries of the University

campuses, the people of Southern Miss are making a real difference in the community. Students contrib-uted more than 100,000 hours of volunteer service last year, and the University has been honored with the prestigious Carnegie Community Engagement Classification for the many ways in which students, faculty, staff and programs engage and enhance the people and places of South Mississippi and beyond.

Achieving on the field and in the classroomWinning national scholarships is a proud tra-

dition of the Honors College. For the last two years, Southern Miss accounted for the only Truman Scholarship winners from a Mississippi university. And since 2006, Southern Miss students have col-lected seven Goldwater Scholarships, 10 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships and numerous other prestigious awards.

On the field, Southern Miss has won five Conference USA football championships, three Conference USA baseball championships and the 2014 Conference USA basketball championship. Off the field, the University is continually recognized for having the highest graduation rate in the state among men’s athletics programs, winning the Halbrook Award in 2013 for the ninth time in 10 years. And for the second consecutive year, the Southern Miss women’s cross country team has posted the highest GPA in the country.

The University of Southern Mississippi


Dr. Rodney D. Bennett took office as the

10th President of The University of Southern Mississippi on April 1, 2013, and immediately made student success the top institutional priority. His commitment to stu-dent enrollment, reten-tion, progression and graduation permeate the

University’s campuses and teaching and research sites in Hattiesburg and on the Gulf Coast.

In the months following the Board of Trustees’ announcement to appoint Dr. Bennett, the University saw the best of times and the worst of times. Just a few days after his selection, the University’s Hattiesburg campus was struck by a powerful tor-nado that ripped through not only Southern Miss but also the surrounding community. No lives were lost, but several buildings on campus were damaged or destroyed. Dr. Bennett has led the institution’s suc-cessful recovery and restoration process.

His commitment to the Gulf Coast, including major operations at the Gulf Park Campus in Long Beach, the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) in Ocean Springs, and the Department of Marine Science, housed at the John C. Stennis Space Center, is strong as well. Under Dr. Bennett’s leadership, the University has invested in new academic leadership positions on the Gulf Park Campus, lobbied successfully for legislative support for GCRL, and responded to student requests for health and wellness facilities.

Prior to his role at USM, Dr. Bennett was the Vice President for Student Affairs at the University of Georgia. He holds a Doctor of Education Degree in Educational Administration from Tennessee State University in Nashville, a Specialist in Education Degree and a Master of Education Degree in Educational Administration from Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mass Communication from Middle Tennessee State.

The Bennett familyDr. Bennett’s wife, Temple, is a

member of The Links, Inc., an interna-tional women’s social and public service organization founded on the principles

of friendship and service, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She earned her bachelor of business administration degree from Middle Tennessee State University in 1991 and her master of business edu-cation degree from the same institution in 1994. The couple has two teenage daughters, Colby and Logan.

About the PresidentAppointed to the presidency by the Board of

Trustees of the Institutions of Higher Learning, Dr. Bennett is charged with serving as both the chief executive officer and principal educational officer of The University of Southern Mississippi.

Specifically, the IHL Board delegates to its university presidents administrative control of the universities over which they preside. This includes responsibility for the administration of the divisions and departments of each institution and for keeping its expenditures strictly in harmony with the budget authorized by the IHL Board.

The president also must take the initiative in shaping the University’s educational policy and academic standards in cooperation with the State Commissioner of Higher Education. The president has final authority over all employees. The president also is charged with the responsibility of maintaining appropriate standards of student conduct.

Bill McGillisAthletics Director

When Bill McGillis was named the

sixth full-time Director of Athletics at The University of Southern Mississippi in the sum-mer of the 2013, he literally hit the ground running with a goal of making Southern Miss athletics the best that it can be, both on and off the athletic venues.

McGillis came to Southern Miss with a unique vision and a belief that Golden Eagle athletics could be one of the premier programs in not only Conference USA, but in the country as well. His goal for the future of Southern Miss athletics is not only focused on immediate opportunities to improve all 16 programs, but also a long-range vision of what the program can become over the next decade.

To accomplish these goals, McGillis realizes that the athletic department must create the best possible environment for the student-athletes and the Golden Eagle fans and must continue to culti-vate new and creative ways to find the resources necessary to allow the program to continue to compete at the highest intercollegiate level.

His impact since his hire on July 18, 2013, is very apparent.

Included in that first year on the job was his first three significant coaching hires, including the naming of Amanda Berkley as women’s vol-leyball coach, Zubin Engineer as men’s tennis coach and Doc Sadler as the men’s basketball coach.

In Berkley, he hired an individual who was later named to the Thirty Under 30 list by the American Volleyball Coaches Association, rec-ognizing outstanding individuals in the sport of volleyball under the age of 30 after capturing 17 victories in her first season. That bettered the win total by nine games from the previous season.

Engineer captured 12 victories and a plus-.500 record in a much improved schedule for the Golden Eagles this past spring, while Sadler comes to Southern Miss with a solid pedigree that includes head coaching stops at UTEP and Nebraska in his career.

In the respective playing venues, the Golden Eagle men’s basketball team won the Conference USA men’s basketball crown, its first title since the 2000-01 campaign. The men’s team reached the postseason for the third consecutive season with it also earning its second-straight NIT quar-terfinal appearance, while the women’s squad captured 27 wins and made it to the postseason for the first time since the 2007-08 campaign.

Lady Eagle coach Joye Lee-McNelis was named the C-USA Coach of the Year, while player Jamierra Faulkner not only won the Gillom Trophy for top collegiate women’s basketball

player in the state of Mississippi, but was drafted by the Chicago Sky of the WNBA.

In total, the two programs captured 56 victo-ries marking one of just nine Division I schools to have a combined total of victories between the men’s and women’s basketball programs.

McGillis also brought in an outside ticket company, IMG-Learfield, the first time that that has happened to assist in the sale of season and single-game tickets.

He also issued a feasibility study on Reed Green Coliseum. Populous, a company that describes itself as “a global collective of archi-tects, designers, technical experts and industry veterans,” to present the findings by the end of July. The firm is also preparing a feasibility study on the renovation or possible relocation of the student-athletes’ academic center.

McGillis comes to Southern Miss from the University of South Florida, where he served as Executive Associate Athletic Director. In that role, he is the sport administrator for the football, baseball and softball programs and was respon-sible for leading the department’s revenue-gen-erating units, including marketing, ticket sales, licensing, merchandising and communications.

Throughout his tenure at USF, which began in 2007, the university enjoyed extraordinary increases in tickets sales and other revenue streams. In 2007, football ticket sales nearly doubled from approximately 30,000 per game in 2006 to more than 53,000 per contest. Beginning in 2009, USF began a $69 million facelift of its Athletics District, constructing six new venues, including new baseball and softball stadiums, soccer stadium and track stadium. Construction was completed over a 24-month period, and, based on the number of venues built at one time, is believed to be the single largest athletics project undertaken at a Division I institution in decades.

McGillis brought to Southern Miss more than 25 years of administrative experience in inter-collegiate athletics. Prior to his tenure at South Florida, he served as Director of Athletics at the University of Evansville from 2002 to 2007. At Evansville, McGillis initiated improvements to the university’s basketball, administrative and weight room facilities, and increased scholarship sup-port and funding. The Purple Aces baseball pro-gram achieved unprecedented success, winning the Missouri Valley Conference Championship for the first time. McGillis also spent nearly four years as the Senior Associate Athletic Director at the University of New Mexico, and 13 years at the University of Houston in a similar role.

McGillis earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sports administration from St. Thomas University (Fla.) in 1984 and graduated from the Sports Management Institute Program in 1996. He and his wife Margie, both natives of Seattle, have five children—sons Jordan, Taylor and Will, and daughters Marissa and Gabrielle.

Academic Success

Golden Eagle student-athletes understand that achieving a quality education is the most

important thing in their collegiate life. However, with the demands of each athlete’s athletic pursuits, balancing both is, at times, difficult to achieve. Thankfully, the Southern Miss Student Academic Enhancement Program (SAEP) helps its student-ath-letes attain and maintain that balance by providing quality academic support services. The mission of the SAEP is designed to give Golden Eagle athletes needed support to assure that academic success is realistic, not only during the athlete’s playing days, but also after his or her eligibility has expired.

• The SAEP emphasizes making the academic career at the university one of production, by coun-seling student-athletes in a variety of areas, including course selection and degree plans.

• The SAEP also focuses on preparing the stu-dent-athlete for life beyond graduation.

• Aided with the help of tutors, the SAEP offers individualized tutoring in all courses and an aca-demic center that includes a study hall and full access computer lab.

• In addition, the SAEP also monitors NCAA eli-gibility requirements for the student-athletes, ensur-ing participation in their respective sports.

• Golden Eagle student-athletes also are involved in a variety of individual and group community service projects, along with life skills programs that further develop the overall person.

• The graduation rates of all student-athletes at Southern Miss are higher than those of non-athletes.

• Golden Eagle athletes are consistent members on the President’s and Dean’s Lists, as well as among the leaders in Conference USA scholars.

• During the 2013-14 academic year, there were 36 student-athletes to make the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal list for a grade point average of 3.75 or better, while 128 made the Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

• Eight different Southern Miss student-athletes captured C-USA All-Academic Team honors for their respective programs during 2013-14.

• Two Golden Eagle programs, women’s cross country and men’s tennis, earned Conference USA Academic Awards for the 2013-14 season. The Sport Academic Award is given to the team in each confer-ence-sponsored sport with the highest GPA for the academic year.

Strength and Conditioning

The Golden Eagle football team strives to play at its peak level each week during football season.

To do that, much preparation, hard work and ded-ication is needed, to attain the high performance that is associated with Southern Miss Football each year. Physical preparation and conditioning is the founda-tion to that success. Each player understands that off-season work is the stepping stone to the next season, and without hard work, dedication and many hours of training, becoming a champion is impossible.

Located in the Athletic Center, across from the football locker room and meeting rooms, the Southern Miss Strength and Conditioning program has two main goals – helping athletes to enhance their individual performance potential and aiding in

the prevention of injuries through training.The strength and conditioning program builds a

workout plan that will enhance the weakest phase of each individual’s ability. If each person is only as strong as their weakest link, the program strives to make that weak link strong. The athletes receive a specialized workout that concentrates on improv-ing their performance levels geared to sport specific training acumens.

The spacious floor area features 4,300 square feet of workable space, more than doubling the size of the previous weight room, while the workout area features equipment from some of the lead-ing manufacturers of training equipment in the nation, including Power Lift, Hammer Strength and

Life Fitness. There are 12 training platforms and 12 racks. Also, a number of workout machines that target each of the major muscle groups in the body, along with dumb-bells and cardiovascular equipment.

Under the direction of strength coach Mark Smith, the Golden Eagles also train for champi-onship seasons with assistant coaches Steve Gortmaker and Anthony Hibbert.


Athletic Training

Bumps, bruises, aches and pains are all common when playing a varsity sport, especially with

practices, games, weight training and conditioning drills, which are all parts of a student-athlete’s col-legiate life. But thanks to the hard work and devo-tion of Southern Miss’ Certified Athletic Trainers and Student Athletic Trainers, Golden Eagle athletes receive the highest level of medical care possible in order to remain on the field of competition. Southern Miss also has a quality group of team physicians who meet all of the medical needs of the 16 athletic teams at the University. The team physicians are spe-cialized and skilled in the various types of injuries and Sports Medicine conditions that can occur in athletic competitions.

The Sports Medicine Program revolves around three major aspects – prevention of athletic inju-ries, treatment and rehabilitation of those injuries, and recognition of injuries and medical conditions that require referral to appropriate medical per-sonnel. The athletic center, constructed in 2002,

allowed for an approximately 4,000 square foot state-of-the-art athletic training facility in which all student athletes receive pre-practice and pre-game preparation, rehabilitation of injuries, and physician examinations.

The athletic training room is an open area where Assistant Athletic Director/Sports Medicine Todd McCall and his staff can view all the aspects of sports medicine. There are 11 examination tables in the 4,000-square foot room, nine of which are housed in the main athletic training room while the other two are housed in the physician suite examination rooms, allowing for patient-physician privacy.

The facility also houses a state-of-the-art hydro-therapeutic swimming pool, which provides athletes with water resistance to speed up the rehabilitation process, while decreasing stress on the injured body parts. Along with the hydrotherapeutic pool, the facil-ity also benefits student-athletes with an in-house X-ray unit, which assists the Sports Medicine Staff and Physicians in diagnosis of athletic related injuries.

Carlisle-Faulkner Field at M.M. Roberts Stadium is the focal point on Southern Miss’ campus

during football game days in Hattiesburg, Miss. With all the excitement and atmosphere surrounding the game, there isn’t a better place to be. The stadium, which is affectionately known to the Golden Eagle faithful as “The Rock at Southern Miss,” has been home to a number of Southern Miss football greats, including the likes of Reggie Collier, Austin Davis, Brett Favre, Damion Fletcher, Derrick Nix and Sammy Winder.

Since the opening of M.M. Roberts Stadium in 1976, named after the former Golden Eagle letter-winner and IHL Board of Trustees member, Southern Miss has accumulated a 70.3 winning percentage at home enjoying 10 undefeated home seasons over that span, including 6-0 marks during both the 2009 and 2011 seasons.

During the summer of 2013, the stadium went through extensive renovations as improvements were made to the playing surface, press box and stadium’s videoboard in the north end end zone.

A new artificial surface, Matrix Turf, was installed by Hellas Sports Construction after the old turf was deemed unplayable following a Feb. 10, 2013, tornado that hit the Hattiesburg area and caused damage to not only the field but also the southern part of campus.

In addition, the Robert “Ace” Cleveland press box enjoyed renovations that included upgrades to the area’s air conditioning/heating system as well as to its roofing along with the installation of new windows throughout the entire length of the facility.

The stadium’s videoboard system also enjoyed an upgrade. The original videoboard, which was installed prior to the 2007 season, was replaced with a new high definition board that should give fans a much better in-game experience when they attend games at The Rock.

These renovations are the first major work proj-ects to the stadium since the addition of 34 luxury suites, club-level seating, elevators on each side of the south end zone and a visiting team locker room

were added for the 2008 campaign. The stadium was dedicated on September 25,

1976, with Southern Miss hosting intrastate-rival Ole Miss.

Even though it seems like recent history, the stadium’s history dates back to October 29, 1932. On that date, State Teachers College defeated Spring Hill College, 12-0, as some 4,000 fans looked on from wooden bleachers. On this homecoming date, the playing field was dedicated as “Faulkner Field” in honor of local businessman L. E. Faulkner, who provided the materials and equipment to build the original facility.

Through the years, a number of improvements have been made to the field and stadium. In 1989, the playing field had a new irrigation system installed, while the press and president’s box was renovated and chairback seating was added to the west side of the stadium.

In 2002, the lighting system was upgraded to provide brighter lighting and two new poles were added, one in each end zone, making it possible to televise night games without the expense of por-table lights, as well as enhancing fans’ enjoyment of the game.

The playing field at Roberts Stadium underwent a name change in the 2004 summer when it was renamed Carlisle-Faulkner Field at M.M. Roberts Stadium in honor of entrepreneur, Southern Miss graduate and Golden Eagle supporter, Gene Carlisle, who provided outstanding support and contribution to the Athletics Department and the University – as he donated the school’s first artificial surface, Momentum Turf by Sportexe.

Carlisle-Faulkner Fieldat Roberts Stadium

In 1938, several Southern Miss football players were recruited to work with the con-tractors building the stadium. The players hauled in the concrete used to build the addi-tions, prompting the athletes to begin calling the new stadium “The Rock.”

2014

OUTLOOK

The setting for the 2014 Southern Miss football team may have been cast on a Saturday after-

noon late last November at Legion Field when the Golden Eagles rallied from an eight-point halftime deficit to UAB and exploded for a season-high 62 points, including 49 in the second half, to capture the final game of the regular season.

That victory ended a 23-game losing streak for the Golden Eagles, but more importantly, gave the Golden Eagle football program a positive charge heading into spring football and then into summer preseason workouts. That momentum has carried over through the last nine months as the Southern Miss program tries to rise from a disappointing couple of seasons.

Through Todd Monken’s mantra, “we have to coach better, play better, recruit better” certainly seems to have taken root in the football program.

The Golden Eagles are a year older from a team that returns a group of 21 players that saw action as either a true or redshirt freshmen a year ago as well as a wealth of older players which look to lead the way heading into the fall.

With a majority of the coaching staff back for its second season under Monken, the Golden Eagles can claim something that they have not had since the 2011 championship season – stability.

The Coaching Staff

As the Golden Eagles return five of its nine assis-tant coaches from a year ago, many of the Golden Eagle players will see a seamless transition from a year ago after having to adjust to mostly new staffs the last two seasons.

Heading into the fall, there was only two chang-es on the offensive coaching side of the football, while there was one on the defensive side. The assistant head coach/director of player personnel is different as well.

Southern Miss welcomes Chip Lindsey to the staff as the school’s offensive coordinator and quar-terbacks coach. Lindsey becomes a Golden Eagle after spending the last year on the staff at Auburn. Lindsey is no stranger at the collegiate level and also very familiar with the returning starting quarterback, Nick Mullens. Lindsey coached Mullens during the sophomore’s prep days at Spain Park High School in Hoover, Ala.

The Golden Eagles also will have a new leader on the offensive line, as Luke Meadows takes that position responsibilities, coming from Florida Atlantic where he spent the previous two seasons.

On the defensive side, Pete Golding comes in to oversee a talent group of safeties. The Delta State graduate spent the last two seasons at Southeastern Louisiana and Jon Williams comes to Southern Miss as the assistant head coach and director of player personnel after spending the last six seasons running the program at Itawamba Community College.

With Lindsey taking over the quarterbacks, head coach Todd Monken will transition to overseeing the outside wide receivers position this fall. The offensive coaching side also includes inside receiv-ers coach Todd Wozniak, who also runs the special teams for the program. John Simon returns for his second campaign at Southern Miss mentoring the running backs to complete the offensive side of the staff.

2014 Golden Eagle Outlook


Complimenting Golding on defense is corner-backs coach and no stranger to Golden Eagle football, Lytrel Pollard. The former Southern Miss letterwinner comes back for his second season after spending 1999-2007 on the coaching staff at his alma mater.

Derrick LeBlanc, the former Northwestern State standout, returns as well to coach the defensive line, while David Duggan is back for his sec-ond consecutive season and sixth overall as the team’s defensive coordinator and linebacker coach.

The OffenseTwenty-five letterwinners and eight starters are

back on the offensive side of the ball this fall. As many as seven different freshmen started at least once as this unit should enjoy some experience at skill positions, along with some much added depth on the offensive line.

Quarterbacks

The final six games of 2013 helped Golden Eagle fans make a comparison of Nick Mullens to a former recent Southern Miss quarterback in Austin Davis. Both enjoyed standout freshman campaigns and the Hoover, Ala., product came in to his own by starting in the final six games of the season. Mullens threw for 1,776 yards and 13 touchdowns during his initial season, including five in the final contest against UAB.

Mullens took over for then senior transfer Allan Bridgford, who joined the squad for summer camp after graduating from California just prior to starting camp. Bridgford held the job for the first six games, but Mullens took over the final half of the season and now owns the tag of quarterback of the future for the Golden Eagles.

In all, there will be a total of six quarterbacks in camp, with redshirt senior Cole Weeks of Freeport, Fla., being the only other player with any experience with the squad.

Redshirt freshman Parker Adamson (Oxford, Miss.) will also battle for some playing time in 2014, while redshirt sophomore Matt Bergeron (Mandeville, La.) played a year at Lamar before transferring to Southern Miss prior to last season. True freshman Gunner Roach (Mobile, Ala.) will also try to get some reps and Tyler Matthews (Wichita, Kan.), a transfer from TCU, will sit out this year due to NCAA rules.

Wide Receivers

Southern Miss returns three of their top five pass receivers from a year ago and return 54.4 percent of its receiving yard production. It is a unit in which three true freshmen finished in the top eight in receiving yards last season.

Sophomore Tyre’oune Holmes (Tylertown, Miss.)

returns as the top possession receiver from a year ago after catching a team-best 53 balls for 410 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Markese Triplett, a senior from Louisville, Miss., had the most receiving yards with 558 to go along with a team-best four touchdown receptions. Triplett had a season-best 81-yard recep-tion to go along with two 100-plus receiving games.

Another sophomore, Marquise Ricard of Baton Rouge, La., tallied 24 catches for 306 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Kyle Sloter (Johns Creek, Ga.) transitioned from quarterback to receiver and caught five passes late for 35 yards and a touchdown as a standup tight end. Other players that could see some action at that tight end spot are junior transfer Ryan Seaberg (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and freshman Jay’Shawn Washington (Marrero, La.), who will also work with the running backs.

Running Backs

This is one area of improvement that the Golden Eagles need to continue to progress into this season after tallying only 875 rushing yards (72.9 yards per game) with just five scores on the ground in 2013.

With a healthy running back in the form of Jalen Richard (Alexandria, La.) for the first time in three seasons, the team has found a good start in its plan to improve the running game. The junior, Richard, notched 324 yards on 85 carries a year ago for a 3.8 per carry average a year ago. Despite injuries his first two seasons, though, he still needs just 250 rushing yards to go over the 1,000-yard mark for his career.

The next top returning rusher is sophomore George Payne (Mobile, Ala.) who was originally going to redshirt last season, but who worked so hard during fall practice, forced the coaching staff to play him as a true freshman. Payne appeared in five games and rushed for 173 yards on 43 carries and a rushing score.

Looking to join these stable of runners is true freshman Ito Smith (Semmes, Ala.), along with redshirt senior Delvin Welch (Baton Rouge, La.), along with brothers Darrion and Johntre’ Goudy, a redshirt senior and sophomore, respectively, from Meridian, Miss.

Offensive Line

The Golden Eagles return three starters to the offensive line for this season but also felt the need to bolster the position’s depth over the last offseason and did just that.

Three starters return from last year’s roster on the offensive line, including redshirt junior Rashod Hill (Jacksonville, Fla.), senior Fred Moore (Heidelberg, Miss.) and sophomore Cameron Tom (Baton Rouge, La.). The trio combined to make 31 starts last season and these players are the building blocks around this year’s offensive front.

Two other offensive lineman that will battle for playing time after suffering injuries a year ago include redshirt freshman Devin Farrior (Waynesboro, Miss.), who was injured early in the season, redshirt and junior Michael Brinson (Flowood, Miss.) who missed the entire season.

Redshirt sophomores Oliver Bates (Tylertown, Miss.) and Brandon Farmer (Gulfport, Miss.), along with redshirt junior Chaz Cavignac (Slidell, La.) each saw limited action last season and will look to join in the rotation on the offensive line this fall.

The Golden Eagles also went out and added a pair of junior college signees to play up front, both from Hinds Junior College, and are Thomas Collins (Jackson, Miss.) and Norman Price (Vicksburg, Miss.) which should help bolster the Golden Eagle front.

The Defense

Southern Miss returns 27 players on defense including seven starters from last fall. Three pro-jected starters heading into last season return after each missed either all or most of the season due to various reasons. Redshirt junior defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (Dangriga, Belize) was lost in the second game with a foot injury, while Alan Howze (Ocean Springs, Miss.), who was supposed to finish his career in 2013, but went absent he final eight games with a turf toe problem and will return for a fifth-year. Defensive back Jacorius Cotton (LaGrange, Ga.) returns for this senior campaign after being ineligible last season.

The trio, one key experienced player from every area on the defensive side, should provide key lead-ership heading into the ’14 campaign.

Defensive Line

Led by Nunez-Roches who tallied just eight tackles and a half tackle for loss in two games last season, the redshirt junior is a solid player to build around on the defensive front.

Redshirt junior Michael Smith of Birmingham, Ala., was the only Golden Eagle on the roster from last year to play and start in every game at one of the end spots. He tallied 33 tackles to go along with 1.5 for loss. He is joined by senior Adam Williams (Tunica, Miss.), who collected 40 tackles of which 8.5 were for losses and three sacks. Sophomore Dylan Bradley, who calls Macon, Miss., home, looks to be the top candidate at the Bandit spot heading into fall camp after notching 52 tackles from last fall to go along with 4.5 tackles for loss.

The Golden Eagles also have backups that played a season ago that will vie for valuable reps this fall. Redshirt senior Dasman McCullum (Hebron, Miss.) returns from a 37-tackle season, while junior Wil Freeman of Flowood, Miss., notched 14 stops, Ja’Boree Poole (Brookhaven, Miss.) added 12 tackles

his freshman season and redshirt senior Nic Bekkers (Perry, Ga.) is back after getting eight stops last season.

The area will also add redshirt freshmen Draper Riley (Harvey, La.), Xavier Thigpen (Hebron, Miss.), Vohn Keith (Mobile, Ala.), Rod Crayton (Dadeville, Ala.,) Nick Carlis (Mobile, Ala.) and Quentin Smith (Clinton, Miss.), along with redshirt sophomore Jerry McCorvey (Vancleave, Miss.).

Linebackers

Howze, who has appeared in 41 career games and started in 16, returns as the leader of a young, but improving group.

Redshirt junior Terrick Wright (Gadsden, Ala.) started in 10 games last season, working at both the middle and will linebacker spots. Wright fin-ished second on the squad in tackles with 90, also registering four for loss, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Sophomore C.J. Perry (Bessemer, Ala.) helped take up the slack with the absence of Howze, playing mostly in the middle as a true freshman in 2013. Perry collected 45 tackles (five for loss) with a sack.

As for the spur position, which will be used as both a linebacker and a defensive back, redshirt senior Justin Penn (Bassfield, Miss.) and redshirt David Bertucci (Gulfport, Miss.) both will compete for the other spot in the 4-3 defense by coach Duggan.

Redshirt senior Ta’Dren Kennedy (Hattiesburg, Miss.) and redshirt sophomore Lelland Ducksworth (Hattiesburg, Miss.) also return to fight for play-ing time along with true freshman Darian Yancey (Auburn, Ala.) and Jeremy Sangster (Louisville, Miss.).


Jalen Richard


Defensive BacksWith the return of Cotton for his senior cam-

paign, three players are also back that combined for 25 starts a year ago, giving the Golden Eagles a seasoned defensive backfield. Senior Emmanuel Johnson (McKenzie, Ala.) headlines that list with 10 starts and 54 tackles, along with junior Kalan Reed (Birmingham, Ala.) that wrangled 41 tackles in 10 starts and sophomore Kelsey Douglas (Missouri City, Texas), who stopped opponents 68 times in five starts.

The Golden Eagle defensive back corps also returns a solid young group which entails redshirt freshman Trae Collins (Columbus, Miss.), sopho-more Evan Osborne (Pearl, Miss.), true freshman Picasso Nelson (Mendenhall, Miss.), who enrolled last spring to the University after finishing his prep career at Oak Grove High School in the fall.

Redshirt senior Urell Johnson (New Orleans, La.), comes back to battle for playing time, along with red-shirt freshman Jomez Applewhite (Bassfield, Miss.) and sophomore Marcus Turner (McCalla, Ala.).

Signees that could also fit into the mix includes Cornell Armstrong (Bassfield, Miss.) and Xavier Marion (Ridgeland, Miss.).

The Specialists

The Golden Eagles return both their place kicker and punter for the 2014 season.

Redshirt senior Corey Acosta, from Memphis, Tenn., has held the job for the last two years, converting 24-of-39 field goal attempts and 51-of-52 extra points. Acosta also will have kickoff duties as well, averaging 59.6 yards per kickoff last year.

The punting was done by a couple of players last fall, including redshirt junior Matthew Moseley (Franklin, Tenn.) and sophomore Tyler Sarrazin (Geismar, La.). Moseley started the year in that role, booting 18 punts for a 40.9 yard average, but a leg injury sidelined him from punting the remainder of the year, although he held the holding job on place-ments for the entire season.

Sarrazin collected 44 punts for a 39.4 per boot average and Golden Eagle punters averaged 39.7 for the season combined, as well as placing 22 punts inside the opponents 20-yardline.

Emmanuel Johnson returned both kickoffs and punts last season, finishing second in both catego-ries. Johnson registered 11 kickoff returns for a 25.5 yard average, while notching four punt returns for an 8.2 yard average. Jalen Richard also returns as the top punt returner with a 16.8 yard per try on four attempts.

Redshirt junior Lance Schuffert (Prattville, Ala.) also holds the deep snapper role for both placements and punts for the third-straight season.

The ScheduleSouthern Miss plays another impressive schedule

that features six opponents that reached bowl games last season, including C-USA champion Rice, along with non-conference foes Mississippi State and Alabama. The other bowl teams the Golden Eagles will play include Marshall, Middle Tennessee and North Texas.

The program returns to a six-game home schedule in 2014 as they face non-conference foes Alcorn State (Sept. 6) and Appalachian State (Sept. 20), along with C-USA foes Rice (Sept. 27), Louisiana Tech (Oct. 25), Marshall (Nov. 8) and UAB (Nov. 29).

The program, though, will open the year against Mississippi State, playing the Bulldogs for the first time since the 1990 campaign. The Golden Eagles will play a team from the Southeastern Conference for the second-straight season and have played a member from that league every year but three sea-sons (2007, 2011, 2012) since 1964.

This will be just the third time since 1946 that the Golden Eagles have opened the year against an in-state opponent and the first time they have done that since opening up against Alcorn State for the 2009 season.

The Golden Eagles will play two new opponents on this year’s schedule, including Appalachian State, who will be playing their first year at the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision and UTSA, who plays their initial season in Conference USA.

In all, Southern Miss will play four opponents from the state of Texas (Rice, North Texas, UTEP, UTSA), two each from Mississippi (Mississippi State, Alcorn State) and Alabama (Alabama, UAB) and one each from North Carolina (Appalachian State), Louisiana (Louisiana Tech), Tennessee (Middle Tennessee) and West Virginia (Marshall).

THE

COACHING STAFF

Todd Monken was announced as the 20th

head coach in Southern Miss history in December of 2012. Monken was charged to turn around a Golden Eagles’ program.

I n his first season

at the helm of the Golden Eagles, Monken battled injuries and a tough schedule as he began the rebuilding process for the Southern Miss football team. Monken inherited a team that finished the 2012 season without a win. During his first year, Monken directed the injury-prone team to a 1-11 mark. After dropping the first 11 contests of the year, the Monken led Golden Eagles trailed rival UAB 21-13 at halftime. Southern Miss rallied for a 62-27 victory over the Blazers. In the game, the Golden Eagles scored 49 second-half points, including a season-best 28 points in the third quarter to take control of the game and earn the victory.

In the game against UAB, true f r e s h m a n quar te rback Nick Mullens threw five t o u c h d o w n passes and rushed for another. Mullens led a 28-0 rally with three touchdown passes and a 1-yard touchdown rush to put Southern Miss ahead by 20 points at the start of the fourth. He threw for 370 yards as Southern Miss amassed 472 yards in the matchup.

Despite the results on the scoreboard, Monken’s first season saw several highlights throughout the year.

On the strength of his best performance of the season against UAB, Mullens garnered two awards, being named Conference USA Co-Offensive Player of the Week as well as one of eight “Stars of the Week” as recognized by the Manning Award.

At the conclusion of the season, Southern Miss’ senior Khyri Thornton was named

second team All-Conference USA, while true freshman Tyre’oune Holmes and junior Emmanuel Johnson were both honorable mention selections. In addition, a trio of Golden Eagles appeared on the C-USA 2013 All-Freshman team

– Holmes, Mullens and Cameron Tom.

On May 9, Thornton was selected in the third round

(85th overall) of the NFL Draft by the Green

Bay Packers. He became the first

player selected in the NFL Draft in the Todd Monken Era and the 22nd draft pick of the Golden Eagles since 2000. With the selection of Thornton, the Black and Gold posted three consecutive years with p l a y e r s drafted in the first two days of the NFL Draft – Thornton

(3rd round – Green Bay Packers, 2014),

Jamie Collins

ToddMonken

Head Coach


(2nd round – New England Patriots, 2013) and Lamar Holmes (3rd round – Atlanta Falcons, 2012), making Southern Miss one of just 23 teams to accomplish the feat.

Off the field, Corey Acosta was named to the 2013 Conference USA Football All-Academic team for his efforts on the field and in the classroom as announced by the conference office. Acosta boasted a 3.79 grade point average in biological sciences and led the Golden Eagles in points during the 2013 season.

In addition, football had 27 players recognized for their achievements in the classroom, including five student-athletes who earned Dean’s List honors. The Southern Miss football program was also recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its academic achievement on the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level as having a graduation rate of 75 percent or better.

The new director of the Black and Gold came to Southern Miss after serving the previous two seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma State. It was his second stint at OSU, after serving as pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach there from 2002-04.

Under Monken during the 2012 season, the Cowboys – which had a true freshman starting quarterback to start the season and a redshirt freshman as the primary backup – ranked among the nation’s top 10 nationally in scoring offense (4th/44.7 ppg), total offense (5th/548.9 ypg) and passing offense (7th/333.4 ypg). OSU will play in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Jan. 1.

OSU scored more than 50 points 10 times, broke the 60-point mark in five contests, the 70-point mark twice and the 80-point plateau once in just two years with Monken calling the plays.

Also during that span, the Cowboys set single-season records for points scored, touchdowns scored, first downs, pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, completion percentage, touchdown passes, yards per play and third-down conversions in 2011, in addition to posting six of the top seven single-game passing marks in school history.

In 2011, Monken served as Brandon Weeden’s position coach, who set single-season school records for passes completed, passes attempted, passing yards, touchdown passes, completion percentage and total offense in 2011. Weeden, who was drafted as the 22nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, also set single-game school records for passing yards and total offense under Monken’s watch in 2011. On the national level, Weeden finished the 2011 season second in passing yards, third in total offense, fourth in touchdown passes and ninth in pass efficiency.

Monken’s offense produced the 2011 Biletnikoff Award winner in Justin Blackmon – a 2012 first round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars (fifth overall) – in addition to a pair of All-Americans in Blackmon and offensive lineman Levy Adcock and the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, Grant Garner.

Prior to returning to OSU for his second time, Monken spent four years as wide receivers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. He had been promoted to the role of Jaguars’ quarterback coach immediately before taking the offensive coordinator job at Oklahoma State. In his final year in Jacksonville, the Jaguar trio of Mike Thomas, Marcedes Lewis and Mike Sims-Walker combined to make 167 catches for 2,082 yards and 21 touchdowns with Lewis earning a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Monken also worked at LSU from 2005-06, where he developed several receivers including Skyler Green, Dwayne Bowe and Buster Davis. Bowe and Davis were selected in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Bowe combined with Davis and Early Doucet to form one of the nation’s premier receiving corps in 2006. The trio combined for 180 receptions, 2,598 yards and 24 TDs. Bowe finished his career with 154 catches for 2,403 yards, and his school-record 26 touchdowns ranked eighth in SEC history.

In his first stay at OSU, Monken spent three seasons (2002-04) as pass game coordinator/wide receivers coach. The Cowboys averaged more than 32 points per game during that time. In 2004, Monken tutored first-round pick Rashaun Woods, who was selected 31st overall by the San Francisco 49ers. Woods was a two-time All-America honoree and concluded his career with 293 receptions for 4,414 yards and 42 touchdowns.

He also helped engineer one of the nation’s best passing attacks in his two seasons (2000-01) at Louisiana Tech – one year as the running backs coach and the other as wide receivers coach. In 2001, Louisiana Tech ranked eighth in the nation in passing, averaging 313 yards through the air per game. A year earlier, Tech ranked seventh in the nation averaging 313 yards passing per game.

In addition, Monken spent seven seasons at Eastern Michigan (1993-99) including the last two as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He also spent time at Grand Valley State (1989-90) and Notre Dame (1991-92).

A native of Wheaton, Ill., Monken was a three-year letterwinner at quarterback for Knox College. He earned a bachelor’s degree in economics (1989) and followed with a master’s degree in education leadership from Grand Valley State. He is a member of the Knox College Athletic Hall of Fame. Monken and his wife, Terri, have one son, Travis.

Monken at a Glance

Mike Gundy, Head Football Coach,

Oklahoma State

“Todd Monken has a very bright football mind. We served together on two separate coaching staffs at Oklahoma State and I’ve always thought highly of him, both as a football coach and as a man. When we brought him to Oklahoma State after the 2010 season, we asked him to adapt to the offensive system we already had in place and he was selfless enough to take that challenge. He kept our offense going at a high level and we are very grateful for what he did for our program.

“Todd comes from a football family. He’s grown up around it his entire life and he is very driven. His energy, passion and football knowledge will make him a tremendous asset to Southern Miss football.”

Jack Del Rio, Defensive Coordinator,

Denver Broncos

“Todd has a tremendous offensive mind and brings an energetic, passionate approach to coaching. He is a hands-on teacher who gets the most out of his players. I’ve enjoyed watching his success, and I wish him all the best at Southern Miss.”

Brandon Weedon, Quarterback,

Dallas Cowboys

“He is not only a great offensive mind, but he is a guy who genuinely cares about his players on and off the field. I knew it was just a matter of time before he got this opportunity. Southern Miss definitely got a good one.”

Coaching StaffJon WilliamsAssistant Head Coach / Director of Player Personnel

Jon Williams begins his first season with the

program as the assistant head coach/director of player personnel. “We are pleased to have

Jon join our staff,” said Monken. “He comes to us from a quality junior college program and we look forward to him directing our efforts in bringing in future Golden Eagles as well as mentoring our current players.” Williams came to Southern Miss after working as the head coach at Itawamba Community College (Fulton, Miss.) for four seasons (2009-13). “The opportunity to work at the FBS level and a program with such a rich tradition was too good to pass up,” said Williams. “I am excited to be a small part of assisting the current staff at Southern Miss. I believe in Todd (Monken) and his vision for where the program needs to be and his plan to follow in order to get there.”

Williams spent a total of seven seasons at ICC, serving as an assistant coach for three years before being elevated to the head coaching position there. He had a career record of 21-16 with three runner-up finishes in the MACJC North Division and one playoff appearance. In 2013, Williams led the Indians to their first 5-0 start in school history and the program’s highest ranking ever at No. 4 in the NJCAA poll. Williams was named the 10th head football coach at ICC in 2009 after spending three seasons as the Indians’ offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. The Panama City, Fla., native was the head coach for one season at Locust Fork High School in Alabama just prior to working at ICC. Before that, Williams spent six seasons at Mississippi College, where he served as offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator and the head strength and conditioning coach. Williams, a 1996 graduate of Wingate University, has also been on staffs at Wayne County High School, Simpson High School and East Central Community College.

Coaching StaffDavid DugganDefensive Coordinator / Linebackers

David Duggan returns for his second season

as the defensive coordina-tor for the Golden Eagles. Along with his duties as defensive coordinator, he

also directly works with the linebackers. This is his sixth year overall with the program.

During the 2013 campaign, Duggan’s defense notched over 1,000 total tackles. The Black and Gold defense notched 78 tackles for loss, including 13 sacks on the year. The defense forced 11 fumbles with six interceptions and a pair of safeties. Duggan worked directly with the linebackers, molding the unit into one of the top tackling groups on the team, despite numerous injuries to key play-ers. With the injuries, the linebacking corps had to fill gaps with young players, but still recorded suc-cess under Duggan’s tutelage. Sophomore Terrick Wright was second on the team in total tackles with 90, leading the team in assisted tackles with 46. Despite missing some games with injury, senior Dylan Reda finished the season in the top 10 on the team in tackles. Freshman C.J. Perry also concluded the year in the

top 10 for Southern Miss in tackles. Senior Alan Howze finished the year in the top 15 among the team in tackles despite missing the final eight games of the season with an injury. At North Carolina, Duggan assumed the role as outside linebackers and special teams coach for the Tar Heels. In his lone season with the program, UNC’s Bandit and Ram position starters helped lead Carolina to an 8-4 finish, their best winning percent-age since 1997. The Carolina special teams were just that as the team blocked three punts, returned a kickoff for a touchdown and kicker Casey Barth was 15-of-19 on field goals including going 5-of-7 between 40 and 49 yards. Barth was also a perfect 44-of-44 in his point after attempts. In his last season with the program in 2011, Duggan assumed the role of co-defensive coordina-tor while also coaching the linebackers. That year, the Golden Eagle defense set an NCAA record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns and was as opportunistic and ferocious as any unit in the nation. The 2011 Golden Eagles scored 12 non-offensive touchdowns en route to winning the 2011 Conference USA championship. Over his initial four-year span with the Golden Eagles, Duggan’s linebackers were the centerpieces of the defense, headlined by names like Korey Williams, Ronnie Thornton and Jamie Collins. Even in 2011, as injuries sidelined Williams for much of

Coaching Staffthe season, the top three Golden Eagle linebackers combined for 265 tackles, 34 tackles for loss and two interceptions returned for touchdowns. In his third season, Duggan’s three primary starters combined for 230 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 26 tackles for loss. Duggan began his tenure with Southern Miss in 2008 after serving as the head coach of the Cologne Centurions of NFL Europe from 2006-07. During his time as head coach, his defense ranked No. 1 in the league both seasons. His history with the league stretched back to the 2000 season as he worked as defensive coordinator for Cologne from 2003-05 and then in the same role for the Berlin Thunder from 2000-03. His defenses ranked No. 1 in the league in both seasons as an assistant at Cologne and he twice was a member on the staff that won the World Bowl (IX in 2001 and X in 2002) with Berlin. Prior to his experience in NFL Europe, Duggan was the defensive coordinator at Brown University from 1997-00 in which the team won the 1999 Ivy League Crown. Duggan went to Brown, after working at Colgate (1995-97) as the inside/outside linebackers coach, as well as the kickoff coverage coach. The Raiders captured the 1996 Patriot League title and played in the Division I-AA playoffs that season. Duggan was the inside linebackers coach at Holy Cross from 1992-95, after spending 1988-92 at New Hampshire, his alma mater, as the inside lineback-ers coach leading the team to the 1991 Yankee Conference championship and the Division I-AA playoffs that year.

His first coaching job was at Alleghany College (1987-88), where he was the inside linebackers and strength and conditioning coach. The Gators captured the 1987 North Coast Athletic Conference crown and participated in the NCAA Division III national playoffs. Duggan earned his Bachelor’s degree from New Hampshire in 1986 and was a member of the foot-ball team from 1982-86, in which he served as a co-captain his senior season. He and wife, Lynne, have two daughters, Olivia and Grace.

Coaching StaffChip LindseyOffensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks

In February of 2014, Southern Miss officially

announced the hiring of Chip Lindsey as assistant football coach, who will serve as both the offensive

coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the program. “Chip is an outstanding coach who has an impressive track record leading him here to Southern Miss,” said Golden Eagle coach Todd Monken. “We share similar philosophies on offense and he has had success moving the football everywhere he has been in his career.” Lindsey came to Southern Miss after spending the 2013 season with the national champion runner-up Auburn Tigers as an analyst for the offense, concentrating on the wide receivers and passing game. Lindsey joined Auburn after a successful two-year stint at Spain Park (Ala.) High School in Hoover, where he was head coach in 2011-12 and led the Jaguars to their first Class 6A regional championship in program history. He coached Golden Eagle quarterback Nick Mullens during his time there. He served as quarterbacks coach at Troy University

in 2010, following up a long list of accomplishments as a prep coach in football and baseball from 1997-09, which included stops at Lassiter (Ga.), Hoover (Ala.), Colbert Heights (Ala.), Florence (Ala.), Deshler (Ala.), Sparkman (Ala.) and Springville (Ala.) High Schools. As head coach at Colbert Heights, a playoff run made him the Florence Times-Daily’s 2006 Coach of the Year. As head coach at Lassiter, he led the Trojans to their first-ever playoff victory in 2008; he was named state Coach of the Year by the Associated Press, as well as Cobb County Coach of the Year by the Marietta Daily Journal and Cobb County Touchdown Club. He posted a 12-1 season and regional championship at Lassiter in 2009, winning state Coach of the Year honors from the Atlanta Falcons and repeating the Cobb County awards. At Lassiter High School in Marietta, Ga., he was the head coach from 2008-09. In 2009, Lindsey led Lassiter to a perfect regular season record of 10-0 and the school’s first-ever region championship. The team advanced to the state quarterfinals for the first time in school history and finished the year at 12-1. For his efforts, Lindsey was named the Marietta Daily Journal Cobb County Coach of the Year, Cobb County Touchdown Club Coach of the Year and Atlanta Falcons Class AAAAA Coach of the Year. In his first season at the helm of Lassiter, Lindsey engineered a nine-win season after taking over in

Coaching StaffFebruary. The win total was the highest in school history and he also coached the team to its first-ever playoff victory. He earned the first of two consecutive MDJ Cobb County and Cobb County Touchdown Club Coach of the Year awards. He was also named Georgia’s 2008 Associated Press Coach of the Year. While at Lassiter High, Lindsey guided the development Parade All-American and Georgia quarterback signee Hutson Mason. Mason broke every single-season state passing record in 2009 including passing yards (4,560) and touchdowns (54). Prior to his appointment at Lassiter, Lindsey served as the offensive coordinator in 2007 at Alabama powerhouse program Hoover High School. Under his guidance on offense, the team finished the season 10-2 and advanced to the third round of the state playoffs. Lindsey’s first experience as a high school head coach came from 2005-06 as the lead man at Colbert Heights High School in Tuscumbia, Ala. There he inherited a program that had won a combined five games over its three previous seasons. All Lindsey did was match that win total with a 5-5 season in 2005, then follow that up with a 9-3 season in 2006 that included a trip to the second round of the state playoffs. Nine wins was the most in Colbert Heights’ history. The season also included the school’s first-ever playoff victory. The turnaround at Colbert Heights garnered Lindsey his first coaching award as the Florence Times-Daily made him its 2006 1A-3A Coach of the Year. Lindsey spent the 1997-04 seasons in various assistant coach roles around the state of Alabama including Florence (Ala.), Deshler (Ala.), Sparkman (Ala.) and Springville (Ala.) High Schools. Lindsey played football at the University of North Alabama before transferring as a student to Alabama,

where he received his bachelor’s degree in history and English in 1997. In 2005, he earned a master’s in educational leadership from the University of Phoenix. A native of Madison, Ala., he graduated from Bob Jones High School, where he was a three-sport letterman. Lindsey and his wife Cecily have four children: Claire, Caroline, Cooper and Conner.

Coaching StaffPete GoldingSafeties

In March 2014, Pete Golding joined the

Golden Eagle football staff as an assistant coach overseeing safeties. Golding came to Southern Miss after spending two seasons at

Southeastern Louisiana. In his final year with the Lions, Golding helped Southeastern Louisiana to an 11-3 overall record, 7-0 in Southland Conference play. The Lions set a school record for victories in a season and won the program’s first conference title of any kind since 1961. SLU advanced to the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs in its first-ever playoff appearance. Golding’s defense led the Southland Conference in total and scoring defense. The Hammond, La. native served as defensive coordinator at Southeastern Louisiana after spending

the previous two seasons in the same capacity at Delta State. Golding, a former All-Gulf South Conference performer at Delta State, also coached the Lion secondary. In his coaching career, Golding has tutored five All-Americans that began with Michael Eubanks (LB/2006) at Delta State. Golding also coached All-Americans Monterio James (CB/2006), Garrett Williams (SS/2010) and Dominique Davenport (CB/2011) before playing an instrumental role in the play of former Lion Robert Alford. Alford earned All-America honors in his final season under Golding’s tutelage and was named the National FCS Defensive Player of the Year by College Sports Journal. Alford, who became the second player in Southeastern history to compete in the Senior Bowl, was drafted in the second round (No. 60 overall) by the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons becoming the first Lion to be drafted since 1984. Tyler Stoddard and Todd Washington also earned All-Conference honors under the guidance of Golding and the Lions’ pass defense finished second

Coaching Staffoverall in the Southland Conference. Eighteen players at Delta State were named to the All-Gulf South Conference and All-South Region honors during his tenure at DSU, while seeing six former players at Tusculum receive All-South Atlantic Conference accolades. Paced by Davenport, one of five first-team selections on the All-GSC squad, Golding’s defensive unit in 2011 led the league in total defense and rushing defense. Davenport was joined on the All-GSC team by linemen Anthony Daniels and Mark Hoskins, linebacker Ixavier Triplett and defensive back Brett Butler. In Golding’s first year back at Delta State in 2010, the Statesmen advanced to the NCAA DII National Championship game and their third Gulf South Conference title in four years with an 11-4 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the GSC. DSU fell short of their goal of winning the title on a last-second game-winning field goal by Minnesota-Duluth, 20-17. Delta State’s “Green Shirts” defense played a fast-paced and frenetic style that led the Statesmen to 19 interceptions and 27 forced fumbles. Led by Garrett Williams, who recorded 130 tackles and tied the school record interceptions in a season with eight, DSU allowed 372.7 yards per game, but bristled during the postseason surrendering less than 250 yards per game in postseason. Under Golding’s guidance, Williams closed his senior season as a unanimous All-American selection after finishing with the third highest single season tackles total in DSU history. Williams was one of three defensive standouts to receive postseason honors in 2010. Triplett was named second team All-GSC while becoming the first linebacker in GSC history to be named Defensive Freshman of the Year. Triplett finished the season with 100 tackles (the most by a DSU freshman) and 12 tackles for loss. Prior to joining Roberts’ staff, Golding served for two years as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach under Frankie DeBusk at Tusculum College, a member of the South Atlantic Conference. Prior to being named defensive coordinator in 2008, Golding served as defensive backs coach in 2007. The Pioneers became an explosive and record-

setting defensive unit under Golding’s direction. In 2007, TC set a new school record for interceptions with 14 and in 2008 TC lead the SAC in sacks and turnovers forced en route to an appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs. The former Hammond High School product began his coaching career as a graduate assistant on former DSU head coach Rick Rhoades’ staff in 2006. The Statesmen went 12-3 that season and advanced all the way to the NCAA Division II Semifinals before falling to eventual national champion Grand Valley State. Golding was a four-year starter for the Statesmen from 2002-05 at safety, racking up 285 career tackles to rank third in school history while recording nine career interceptions to finish fourth. In 2004, the free safety garnered All-Gulf South Conference honors after leading the team with 85 tackles with two interceptions and eight pass break-ups. As a senior in 2005, he tallied 81 tackles with five tackles-for-loss, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. Golding graduated in 2005 from Delta State with a degree in business. He and his wife, Carolyn, are the parents of son, Braxton.

Coaching StaffDerrick LeBlancDefensive Line

In January of 2013, Derrick LeBlanc joined

the Southern Miss football coaching staff. LeBlanc, a former offensive and defensive lineman, is in charge of the defensive line, bringing a

wealth of experience with him to Hattiesburg. In his first season with the Black and Gold, LeBlanc managed a defensive line led by Khyri Thornton, who was named Second Team All-Conference USA and selected in the third round (85th overall pick) to the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. Under LeBlanc’s tutelage, Thornton recorded 39 tackles, including 16 solo tackles and 23 assisted tackles. Thornton boasted 6.5 tackles for loss including a half a sack for eight yards. He was credited for a team-best four quarterback hurries. Thornton was also a finalist for the C Spire Conerly Award for the most outstanding collegiate football player in the state of Mississippi. At Southern Miss’ end of the year football banquet, Thornton was named the Jeff Bower Team MVP, as well as, one of the four recipients of the Reggie Collier Team Captain Award. On a 2013 team riddled with injuries, LeBlanc directed a unit that stayed relatively injury free.

Despite a season-ending injury to Rakeem Nunez-Roches after two games, the defensive line remained intact the majority of the season. Defensive end Michael Smith was the only Golden Eagle player to play in and start every game during the 2013 season, while fellow linemen Octavius Thomas and Thornton each notched 11 starts apiece. Reserves Dasman McCallum (12 games) and Dylan Bradley (11 games) also saw significant playing time throughout the year. The three primary starters of Smith, Thomas and Thornton combined for 121 tackles, while McCallum and Bradley added 37 and 52, respectively. LeBlanc joined the Golden Eagle staff after spending one year coaching the defensive line at the University of Wyoming for coach Dave Christensen. Though his tenure in the north was brief, LeBlanc made a lasting impact on the Cowboy program, coaching defensive tackle Mike Purcell to All-Mountain West Conference first team honors. Purcell was third on the team in tackles, a tough mark to achieve for an interior lineman, with 83 while recording eight tackles for loss. Purcell was also one of two Wyoming seniors selected to play in a postseason collegiate all-star game. LeBlanc went to Wyoming from LSU, where he was an assistant strength and conditioning coordinator from 2008-11. Prior to working in the LSU Athletics Department, LeBlanc was the defensive line coach at Missouri State for two seasons in 2006-07.

Coaching Staff No stranger to the southeast, LeBlanc was a four-year football letterman at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., from 1992-96. He played both defensive and offensive line during his playing career, and earned Southland Conference All-Academic honors as both a junior and senior. He began his coaching career in 1997 at Breaux

Bridge High School in Breaux Bridge, La., where he was the offensive and defensive line coach for three seasons from 1997-99. LeBlanc broke into the college ranks in 2000 when he accepted a graduate assistant position at LSU. There he assisted then-defensive line coach Pete Jenkins in coaching the defensive line, as well as assisting the strength and conditioning staff. After the 2000 season at LSU, LeBlanc was offered his first full-time college coaching position at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Ark. He coached the defensive line and was the school’s strength and conditioning coordinator for four seasons from 2001-04. LeBlanc moved on to Arkansas Tech in Russellville, Ark., for the 2005 season, coaching the defensive line and serving as the team’s academic coordinator. He became the defensive line coach at Missouri State in Springfield, Mo., in 2006 and coached there for the 2006 and 2007 seasons under head coach Terry Allen. In addition to serving as an assistant strength and conditioning coordinator for LSU football, LeBlanc assisted with on-campus recruiting. In his four years with the Tigers, the team captured the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl Championship over Georgia Tech, 38-3; faced Penn State in the Capital One Bowl following the 2009 season, losing 19-17; defeated Texas A&M, 41-24, for the Cotton Bowl Championship following the 2010 season; and in 2011 captured the SEC Championship and earned a berth in the BCS National Championship Game, before falling to Alabama. LeBlanc earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Northwestern State in 1997, and completed his master’s degree in sports administration at LSU in 2002. He and his wife, Niema, have two sons, Dayton and Derrick, and one daughter, Kennedy.

Coaching StaffLuke MeadowsOffensive Line

In January 2014, Southern Miss football coach Todd

Monken announced the hiring of Luke Meadows as assistant coach. Meadows, who coaches the offensive line, joins the Golden Eagles

staff after serving as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Florida Atlantic. Meadows came to Hattiesburg with a wealth of experience, after spending two seasons (2012-13) at FAU, where he was elevated to offensive coordinator midway through the 2013 campaign. When he joined the FAU staff, Meadows was asked to build something from scratch for the first time in 10 years. While he returned several starters, the line was asked to protect for a new system and for the first time the Owls’ line had to work with a mobile quarterback, who finished fourth in

the league in total offense and as the top rushing quarterback in C-USA with 767 yards. Meadows began the year with two linemen that had earned significant playing time. He inserted a junior college transfer as well as the emergence of two younger players and the starting five remained intact except for one player missing an early season game in the schedule. The stability paid off with more than a 100-yard improvement in FAU’s total offense and a national rank jump of 22 spots. The line’s pass protection saw the quarterback pass efficiency rating improve by 55 spots while the sacks allowed ranking jumped 21 spots.

Game 1 Game 2No. 22 Nebraska 56, Southern Miss 13

Sept. 7, 2013

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Texas State’s Tyler Arndt slipped through the Southern Miss defensive line, made a quick move and then ended up strolling into the end zone for the 17-yard, go-ahead touchdown.

It was the ending of a fourth-quarter drive that seemingly came out of nowhere as the Bobcats rallied to beat Southern Miss 22-15.

Arndt’s optimism was hard to fathom considering how Texas State had let an early 14-3 lead slip away. Southern Miss took a 15-14 lead with 5:43 remaining on Corey Acosta’s 36-yard field goal and Texas State had barely managed 100 yards of total offense at that point in the night.

But Arndt and the Bobcats were clutch when it mattered. The senior quarterback led a 75-yard drive - which included a long pass comple-tion on fourth-and-19 - to lead the Bobcats to the win. Texas State took advantage of six Southern Miss turnovers, including four lost fumbles.

Southern Miss lost in the debut of coach Todd Monken. Allan Bridgford threw for 377 yards for the Golden Eagles. Texas State didn’t have a good night on offense - with only 215 total

yards - but the Bobcats were opportunistic.They took a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter when Craig Mager ripped

the ball away from Tyre’oune Holmes after a short completion and ran untouched 44 yards for a touchdown.

Jordan Moore threw a 23-yard touchdown to Robert Lowe with 8:52 left in the second quarter to push Texas State ahead 14-0 with 8:52 remain-ing in the second quarter. It was Moore’s only completion of the game.

The Bobcats led 14-3 at halftime despite only 100 total yards of offense. The Golden Eagles pulled within 14-5 on a safety after Texas State

lost a snap through the back of the end zone. Then Bridgford his James Cox for a 6-yard touchdown to make it 14-12.

Bridgford completed 28-of-53 passes and threw one touchdown and two interceptions.

LINCOLN, Neb. – Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Ciante Evans returned first-quarter interceptions for touchdowns and No. 22 Nebraska defeated Southern Miss in a 56-13.

Nebraska limited the Golden Eagles to 284 yards and intercepted four passes, with the first two picks going for early touchdowns.

Jean-Baptiste jumped in front of Rickey Bradley Jr. just as Allan Bridg-ford’s pass arrived on the third play of the game and ran it back 43 yards.

Evans put the Huskers up 21-3 with the first of his two interceptions, catching a ball tipped by Tyre’oune Holmes and going 22 yards to the end zone.

Taylor Martinez threw for 170 yards and three touchdowns, Ameer Abdullah ran for 114 yards and two TDs and the Huskers finished with 285 yards rushing.

Southern Miss scored on its first series of the second half. Bridgford’s 41-yard touchdown pass to Bradley made it 35-13.

After Bradley’s touchdown, Kenny Bell ran back the kickoff 63 yards, and Abdullah scored from 37 yards on the next play.

Evans intercepted Bridgford on the first play of Southern Miss’ fol-lowing possession, and Martinez threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Sam Burtch to make it 49-13.

Bridgford was 21 of 35 for 222 yards. But Bridgford and the Eagles, who turned over the ball six times the previous week, couldn’t overcome the four interceptions - the last one thrown by Nick Mullens.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams combined to rush for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Arkansas pulled away in the second half for a 24-3 win over Southern Miss.

Reserve quarteback A.J. Derby, who took over as for starter Brandon Allen after leaving the game with a bruised his right shoulder while diving on his 5-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter.

Without Allen, Arkansas had just 69 yards passing in the win - more than enough thanks to the continued rushing dominance of Collins and Williams.

Williams had 116 yards rushing on 16 carries, while Collins had 115 on 25 attempts for the Razorbacks.

The turnovers continued to mount for the Golden Eagles, with quar-terback Allan Bridgford throwing a pair of interceptions while Arkansas was struggling to move the ball offensively in Allen’s absence. Bridgford finished 17-of-33 passing for 133 yards.

Jalen Richard led Southern Miss with 94 yards rushing on 14 carries.With Allen out, Arkansas struggled initially with Derby, who spent last

season in junior college after transferring from Iowa. The Razorbacks ran the ball four straight times on Derby’s first drive, which ended on a punt after the junior fumbled a shotgun snap on third down.

Despite the opening, Southern Miss was unable to capitalize. Williams put Arkansas up 17-3 with a 45-yard touchdown sprint in

the third quarter, and Collins capped the scoring with a 7-yard scoring run on his own in the fourth.

The Razorbacks finished with 258 yards rushing - more than enough to overpower the struggling Golden Eagles on Saturday.

BOISE, Idaho – Allan Bridgford was held to only 148 yards in the air by a tight Boise State defense as Southern Miss fell, 60-7 at Bronco Stadium. The Broncos also got help from special teams, which blocked two field goals and forced a fumble on a punt return.

The offense for Boise State started slowly, going three-and-out on its first two possessions. But quarterback Joe Southwick, with the help of some big runs by Aaron Baltazar and Jay Ajayi, got things rolling, putting up points on nine of their next 10 possessions.

Southwick completed 19 of 23 passes and threw touchdown passes of 42, 18 and 14 yards.

The Golden Eagles pulled within 10-7 early in the second quarter when Bridgford fired a 5-yard TD pass to Marquise Ricard all alone in the back of the end zone. The short scoring drive was set up when backup quarterback Grant Hedrick fumbled a snap and Octavius Thomas pounced on a loose ball at the Boise State 8-yard line.

With the help of two Southern Miss penalties, Boise State took the ball right back down the field, setting up Southwick’s 42-yard TD strike to Boldewijn, putting the Broncos up 17-7.

Bridgford led the Golden Eagles back into Bronco territory on the ensuing possession, but the drive stalled just outside the red zone, forcing a field goal attempt. But Corey Acosta’s 38-yard field goal at-tempt was blocked by Demarcus Lawrence, his second of the game. Cornerback Donte Deayon scooped up the bouncing ball and raced to the Southern Miss 27-yard line.

Four plays later, Southwick rolled out and fired a 14-yard touchdown pass to Shane Williams-Rhodes to put the Broncos up 24-7 with 3:52 left in the half and the rout was on.

Game 6East Carolina 55, Southern Miss 14

Oct. 19, 2013

GREENVILLE, N.C. (SportsNetwork) – Paced by Shane Carden’s four touchdowns, East Carolina Pirates defeated Southern Miss, 55-14, in a Conference USA matchup at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

Carden was 30-of-37 through the air for 308 yards with three passing touchdowns and one rushing score for the Pirates.

For Southern Miss, Nick Mullens had 97 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on 9-of-17 passing. He replaced an ineffective Allan Bridgford, who was just 2-of-11 for 15 yards.

ECU came out strong by scoring on the opening possession, capping off a 12- play, 73-yard drive with one-yard touchdown pass from Carden to Hardy. Carden threw another first-quarter touchdown, this time an 11-yard strike to Isaiah Jones.

Cooper had a 21-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, which was shortly followed up by a one-yard scoring rush by Carden. Warren Harvey connected on a 27-yard field goal with 1:48 before the half to give the Pirates a 31-0 lead heading into intermission.

ECU continued its dominance early in the second half, as Carden hooked up with Bryce Williams for a five-yard touchdown.

The Pirates added two more rushing scores in the third quarter, a one-yard run by Breon Allen and a four-yard scamper by Chris Hairston. Harvey added an 18-yard field goal at the end of the frame to make it 55-0.

The Golden Eagles finally scored with 11:38 left in the game, as Mullens connected on a 15-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Ricard. They added another garbage-time score when Mullens hit Bruce Johnson on an eight-yard touchdown pass.

Game 5FIU 24, Southern Miss 23

Oct. 5, 2013

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Corey Acosta’s 44-yard field-goal attempt as time expired was tipped at the line, falling far short, as Southern Miss fell just short of a 24-23 loss to visiting FIU before 21,891 at Roberts Stadium.

Spearman, scored on runs of 3 and 1 yards in the second quarter, and backup quarterback E.J. Hillard hit T.J. Lowder with a 16-yard scoring pass just 57 seconds before half as FIU held a 21-16 edge at the break.

Southern Miss quarterback Allan Bridgford completed 26 of 45 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns. But he also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble when sacked near the end of the first half that led to an FIU touchdown.

Two of Bridgford’s scoring passes went to Markese Triplett, who had seven catches for 96 yards.

FIU starting quarterback Jake Medlock, who completed 5 of10 passes for 88 yards, was intercepted twice before being lifted late in the first half.

Hilliard completed 8 of 13 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown, that gave the Golden Panthers a 21-16 halftime lead.

USM went back ahead 23-21 on Bridgford’s 6-yard pass to Triplett with 6:45 left in the third quarter. But Taylor came through in the final period, capping a nine-play, 52-yard drive that saw the Golden Panthers convert a fourth-and-2 from the USM 34-yard line.

Taylor, who had missed from 48 yards in the third quarter, missed a 45-yard attempt with a minute left to play.

That led to a frantic, downfield charge by USM that saw Bridgford complete two passes to Triplett for 25 yards, including one on a fourth-and-10.

A pass interference call on FIU’s Sam Miller moved the ball to the FIU 27, but USM could not execute on its final chance.

Game 7 Game 8North Texas 55, Southern Miss 14

Oct. 26, 2013Marshall 61, Southern Miss 13

Nov. 2, 2013

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) – North Texas came into the game at Southern Miss ranked second nationally among Football Bowl Subdivision teams with 20 takeaways.

The Mean Green likely will stay among the leaders after collecting five turnovers, as North Texas simply overpowered the Golden Eagles in the first half on its way to a 55-14 win at Roberts Stadium.

Derek Thompson threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another in the first half as the Mean Green ran out to a 41-7 lead.

Running backs Antoinne Jimmerson, Brandin Byrd and Reggie Pegram each scored twice for North Texas.

In his first career start, Southern Miss freshman quarterback Nick Mullens completed 12 of 31 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. He also lost two fumbles after being sacked.

North Texas went up 13-0 in the first quarter on a 46-pass from Thompson to Brelan Chancellor and a 2-yard run by Pegram.

Southern Miss got within 13-7 on Mullens’ 59-yard scoring pass to Dominique Sullivan early in the second quarter.

But the Mean Green answered immediately, scoring 28 consecutive points. The first TD came after going 61 yards in just five plays, with Byrd punching it in from 1-yard out for a 20-7 lead. Thompson found Jimmerson for a 15-yard touchdown, and then scored on 6-yard run on the next drive. Following a Mullens’ interception, Jimmerson scored on a 6-yard run with 37 seconds left in the half to make it 41-7.

A North Texas fumble inside its 5-yard line set up a 2-yard touchdown run by freshman running back George Payne to open the third quarter for Southern Miss. But Pegram and Byrd each added short touchdown runs later in the half as North Texas posted its season-high for points.

Pegram led North Texas with 74 yards on 19 carries, while Byrd added 61 yards on 20 carries.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Nick Mullens threw for 323 yards, but the Marshall offense was too much for the Golden Eagles, as they fell, 61-13, against the Thundering Herd.

Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato’s four scoring throws in the first quarter helped Marshall open up a 28-0 lead heading into the second.

Mullens connected with Markese Triplett for an 81-yard touchdown pass about midway through the second quarter and Corey Acosta’s 39-yard field goal with 3:30 left in the half cut the Southern Miss deficit to 28-10.

The 81-yard scoring pass was the third pass play of at least that length for a score in five games for the Golden Eagles as Stephen Reaves hit Torris Magee for 85 yards there in 2007 and Austin Davis connected with Francisco Llanos for 90 yards in 2011.

Triplett finished the day with four catches for 123 yards, marking the second time during the year the Eagles had a 100-yard receiver and the first for the junior receiver in his career.

Cato, however, led Marshall on a 13-play, 70-yard drive culminating with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Shuler, his second receiving touchdown of the afternoon, just 2 minutes and three seconds later and the rout was on.

Cato completed 21 of 28 passes for 262 yards.

Nov. 30, 2013

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Middle Tennessee returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the first half as the Blue Raiders posted a 42-21 victory over Southern Miss.

Linebacker T.T. Barber gave MT a 7-0 lead with a 24-yard interception return with 6:56 left in the first quarter.

Then, after tying the game for Southern Miss with an 11-yard scoring strike to Dominique Sullivan, Nick Mullens sailed a pass that MTSU safety Kevin Byard intercepted and returned 51 yards to put the Blue Raiders on top for good.

Southern Miss moved the ball effectively in the first quarter, outgaining MT 147 yards to 37 yards total offense. But an opening drive came up barren when Corey Acosta’s 29-yard field goal attempt clanked off the top of the left upright, and Mullens’ miscues shifted momentum to the visitors’ sideline.

After a slow start, MTSU’s offense got in gear in the second quarter, with running back Shane Tucker scoring on a 3-yard run and quarterback Logan Kilgore finding receiver Tavarres Jefferson for a 16-yard touchdown for a 28-7 halftime lead.

Southern Miss got within 28-14 late in the third quarter on Mullens’ 14-yard pass to running back Kendrick Hardy, but Tucker scored his second touchdown of the game on a 4-yard run and Corey Carmichael added a 32-yard touchdown run to rebuild MTSU’s cushion.

Mullens threw a career-high third TD pass, a 13-yarder to receiver Tyre’oune Holmes, to wrap up the scoring with 2:33 to play

Southern Miss Team of the Century

National Awards


Southern Miss Legends Club

Over the years there have been many standouts to don Southern Miss Golden Eagle jerseys.

There have been countless all-conference and All-America players. There have been members of conference championship and NCAA postseason teams. There have been those who made their mark on Golden Eagle athletics, excelling in different sports and eras, all giving their heart and soul for Southern Miss.

While the standouts to grace the fields and courts have been many, there’s been a select few who truly carved a niche in their respective sports. The Southern Miss Department of Athletics created an organization to honor these heroes – the Southern Miss Legends Club.

An idea inspired by former football great Sammy Winder, the Legends Club recognizes former university athletic standouts who made prominent contributions in their individual sports.

The players’ athletic feats are enough to deserve the highest honor in the world of sports – having their respective jerseys retired. But with the Legends Club, Southern Miss’ standouts do not have their jerseys retired. Instead, the players are

honored by being recognized with membership in this prestigious club. Their names and numbers will be displayed prominently in the athletic facili-ties in which they played.

There are 23 such members in the Legends Club, 15 of which are associated with the foot-ball program. Those individuals include Reggie Collier, Fred Cook, Hanford Dixon, Brett Favre, Ray Guy, Bucky McElroy, Derrick Nix, Hugh Laurin Pepper, Bubba Phillips, Adalius Thomas and Sammy Winder, along with the 1958 and 1962 National Championship teams and former coaches Jeff Bower and Thad “Pie” Vann.

The remaining makeup of the Legends Club includes four associated with the men’s bas-ketball program. This group consists of all-star players Wendell Ladner, Nick Revon, Clarence Weatherspoon and legendary coach M.K. Turk, the winningest coach in the program’s history. Also represented are women’s basketball standout Janice Felder and women’s softball stars Courtney Blades and Amy Berman. Only one other coach has been inducted into the group – former wom-en’s basketball coach Kay James.

All-Time Results


EL PASO, Texas - Mississippi Southern made its first bowl appearance here in El Paso, Texas, but it would be the College of the Pacific who would leave Texas as the winner, 26-7. Pacific scored the first points of the game and never looked back. Trailing 13-0 at the half, MSC received the kickoff and then fumbled the ball on the very next play, resulting in a Tiger touchdown. Coach Pie Vann’s squad would lose four fumbles on the day. Mississippi Southern’s only score came on a 73-yard march with little time remaining. Hugh Laurin Pepper scored on a two-yard run, and Peanuts Davenport kicked the extra point. Newspaper reports from the day after the game indicate that defensive tackle J. T. Shepard was the defensive standout for the Southerners. He blocked a punt and recovered it, as well as making some key tackles.

EL PASO, Texas - Although it was the second consecu-tive trip to the Sun Bowl for the Southerners, the result was the same as the UTEP quarterback and Sun Bowl MVP Dick Shinaut threw for two touchdowns, booted a 14-yard field goal, and led the Miners to a 47-20 victory over the Southerners. The Miners struck early, recovering a fumble in the MSC end zone for the first score. UTEP built up a 30-7 halftime lead. The MSC first score came on a Billy Jarrell 13-yard pass to Tommie Wood. The other MSC score came on a 13-yard run by Fred Smallwood in the third quarter.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Mississippi Southern Coach Pie Vann called this 20-13 loss to West Texas State “my toughest loss ever,” although Vann would go on to coach 11 years. The Southerners jumped out to an early 13-0 lead at halftime and were threatening early in the third quarter when the Buffaloes’ defensive back Ron Mills returned an intercep-tion 75 yards for a touchdown to ignite West Texas State. J. C. Arban scored MSC’s first touchdown on a 51-yard Statue of Liberty play, and Bobby Hughes threw a 53-yard bomb to Jerry Taylor for Mississippi Southern’s other score. But it was not enough, as Mills scored on a two-yard romp, and quarterback Bubba Hillman scampered 19 yards for the other score, stealing victory away from Mississippi Southern. The following day the Orlando Sentinel called the game the “best in 11 years.”

ORLANDO, Fla. - Mississippi Southern had every oppor-tunity in the world to win the 12th Annual Tangerine Bowl, but East Texas State found a way to postpone an MSC Bowl victory, defeating the Southerners 10-9. The Lions scored the first touchdown of the game when Garry Berry went in from the three-yard line. MSC quarterback George Sekul then engineered a drive that resulted in his scoring on a one-yard plunge. Before the half ended, the Lions center snapped the ball over the punter’s head and out of the end zone, giving Coach Pie Vann’s club a 9-7 halftime lead. With 7:47 left in the game, East Texas State’s Neal Hinson con-nected on a 31-yard field goal that was the eventual winning score. Southern’s Curry Juneau was cited for his outstanding defensive play.

SHREVEPORT, La. - Golden Eagle fans would have to wait until USM’s fifth bowl appearance before they could claim a victory. The Eagles’ Winston Walker hit a 36-yard field goal, and Clemon Terrell scored on a 14-yard run in the first quarter to give USM the early advantage. USM, though, fell behind 14-10 late in the third quarter. With just 1:17 remaining, USM’s Mike Woodard scored on a one-yard plunge to ensure a 16-14 Golden Eagle victory. For his stellar play, Jerald Baylis was named the defensive MVP.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Golden Eagles made the trip to nearby Birmingham, Alabama, for their first appear-ance in the All American Bowl. Just two weeks earlier, USM hired former Golden Eagle quarterback Jeff Bower to direct the program. USM quarterback Brett Favre threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, but it would not be enough, as North Carolina State went on to a 31-27 vic-tory. For the Eagles, freshman receiver Mark Montgomery caught two Favre passes for touchdowns, while running backs Michael Welch and Tony Smith added touchdowns on the ground.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Southern Miss capped off an amazing season by claiming a 41-7 victory over Big East opponent Pittsburgh in the Liberty Bowl before a crowd of 50,209 most-ly Golden Eagle fans. The win ended USM’s season at 9-3, which capped off a season that saw the Golden Eagles earn a second consecutive Conference USA championship. The game was a showcase for both the USM offense and defense. Sherrod Gideon was named the game’s Most Valuable Player after hauling in three touchdown passes from the arm of quarterback Lee Roberts. No. 22 Southern Miss combined the passing of Roberts to Gideon for three touchdowns with three defensive TDs for the 41-7 win. On a mission after being shut out of the bowl picture last year despite an 8-3 record, the Eagles capped it off with the Liberty Bowl victory and a perfect season in Conference USA. The 34-point margin of victory was the widest in the bowl’s history, surpassing a pair of 30-point differences from the 1976 and 1994 contests.

BOISE, Idaho - Leading 21-7 with a 1st and 10 at the Idaho 38 yard line and 8:13 left in the first half, Southern Miss appeared well on its way to a second straight bowl victory. However, the Golden Eagles did not convert that scoring opportunity, and, before the first half ended, the Vandals scored three times to take a 28-21 lead into the locker room before a crowd of 19,664 at the Humanitarian Bowl. The two teams fought to a 14-14 standoff in the second half, though Southern Miss did tie the score at 35 with 6:37 left in the game, and, after Idaho scored to take a 42-35 lead, the Golden Eagles had one final opportunity to tie the game but moved as far as their own 40 yard line before losing a fumble that allowed the Vandals to run out the clock. Several Golden Eagle players had big games, including freshman running back Derrick Nix, who capped his first season with a 29-carry, 122-yard performance; quarterback Lee Roberts, who ended his college career with a 30-of-51 passing performance that net-ted 342 yards and a pair of touchdowns; and, junior wideout Sherrod Gideon, who caught both Roberts TDs and finished with 12 catches for 117 yards. Roberts earned game MVP honors for his performance. Southern Miss won the rushing and passing yardage battles with a 170-153 edge in rushing and a solid 362-291 margin in passing. However, the Golden Eagles also lost five of six fumbles, while managing to force three Idaho fumbles, all recovered by USM.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Southern Miss defense, which had been regarded as one of the best in school history all season long, made a strong argument for that case as it held Colorado State to only 268 total yards, its second-lowest of the season, in a hard-fought 23-17 win. The win was the second Liberty Bowl championship for the Golden Eagles in three years. In 1997, Southern Miss defeated Pittsburgh 41-7. Unlike 1997, when the Golden Eagle offense put on an offensive clinic, the Southern Miss offense struggled, but was rescued by the stingy play of the Golden Eagle defense. Southern Miss managed only 187 yards, but the Golden Eagle defense held when it counted most. In the second half, USM held Colorado State scoreless despite being on the field for 19 minutes. After the game, a jubilant Jeff Bower praised his defense. “I’m officially declaring this the best Southern Miss defense ever,” said Bower.

MOBILE, Ala. - In a game that featured the top two defenses in the nation, it was the Southern Miss offense that took center stage in the end. Down 21-14 entering the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles scored two touchdowns on the nation’s top defense in the final frame, convert-ing on quarterback Jeff Kelly’s touchdown passes of 56 and 29 yards, respectively. The final score came with :08 seconds left in the game, as Southern Miss wide receiver Kenneth Johnson grabbed a 29-yard touchdown pass to lift the Golden Eagles to the 28-21 victory over No. 13 TCU in the 2000 GMAC Mobile Alabama Bowl. Earlier in the fourth, Kelly connected with LeRoy Handy for a 56-yard scoring strike with 7:24 remaining. The win was Southern Miss’ third bowl victory in four seasons and also marked the fifth-straight year that the team finished with seven or more victories in a season. The Golden Eagles defense, ranked second in the nation, held NCAA-leading rusher and Heisman Trophy finalist LaDainian Tomlinson to a season-low 118 yards on the ground. Handy finished as the bowl’s Offensive MVP after grabbing five receptions for 84 yards and two touchdowns. Leo Barnes, who returned an interception 50 yards for a score in the first quarter, earned Defensive MVP honors.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The 2003 AXA Liberty Bowl was deemed the battle of champions, and in the end, it was just that – at least on the defensive side of the ball. Utah did just enough on offense to take a 17-0 victory over Southern Miss in a tough, defensive clash at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

The defenses were so good that the two teams managed to convert only 4-of-31 third down attempts, two by each team. Utah was averaging 381 yards a game coming in but netted only 228 against the Golden Eagle defense, and Southern Miss had just 213 yards, as compared to the 334 yards per game prior to the game. The game also marked the first time that Southern Miss had been shut out since the 1995 season, when the team fell 42-0 to Tennessee.

The Utes’ offensive total included 104 yards on the ground. Running back Brandon Warfield paced Utah with a game-high 91 yards and one touchdown.

The Golden Eagles had a chance to get on the board first in the opening quarter, but Darren McCaleb’s 47-yard field goal attempt fell short, keeping the game scoreless at the 9:40 mark.

Running back Anthony Harris led Southern Miss with 70 yards on 14 carries, while Dustin Almond finished with 122 yards on 11-of-13 passing. Senior All-American linebacker Rod Davis ended his decorated Southern Miss career with a game-high 16 tackles, including eight solos, and was named the Golden Eagles’ Defensive Player of the Game. He became the school’s all-time leader in total tackles, notching 526 in his career.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Southern Miss led from start to fin-ish and cruised to a 31-10 victory over North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl at the Louisiana Superdome.

The Golden Eagles opened with a 37-yard Dustin Almond to Otho Graves scoring combination, and then tacked on to that lead with a 1-yard score by Almond.

In the second quarter, North Texas answered with a 24-yard field goal from Nick Bazaldua, but the Golden Eagles extended its lead on Darren McCaleb’s 45-yard field goal second before the half.

After a scoreless third quarter, Southern Miss all but put the game away with a pair of touchdowns -- Michael Boley’s 62-yard interception return and a 1-yard scoring run by Sherron Moore.

North Texas finished the scoring with an 11-yard touch-down pass from Scott Hall to Johnny Quinn with one sec-ond remaining, ending the game, 31-10.

Almond finished with 247 passing yards, his second highest total of the season, as he completed 16-of-30 attempts, while Anthony Harris finished with 14 carries for 104 yards.

Antwon Courington led the receivers with five catches for 57 yards, and Graves led the team with 58 receiving yards on three catches.

LAFAYETTE, La. - Career-high performances from Cody Hull and Shawn Nelson, the 2005 New Orleans Bowl MVP, helped Southern Miss earn a 31-19 victory over Arkansas State.

Nelson finished with a team-high six catches for 121 yards and two. His 121 yards also set a Southern Miss bowl record, surpassing Sherrod Gideon’s 117-yard total in the Humanitarian Bowl vs. Idaho in 1998.

Hull finished with a career-high 37 carries for 161 yards, both New Orleans Bowl and Southern Miss bowl records. Hull’s totals surpassed Derrick Nix’s 29 carries against Idaho in the 1998 Humanitarian Bowl and a 124 rushing yard performance by Shelton Gandy against UTEP in the 1988 Independence Bowl.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Golden Eagles took the first lead of the game on a 31-yard field goal by Darren McCaleb. Arkansas State then answered with a 44-yard field goal from Eric Neihouse, knotting the game at 3-3 with 6:57 to play before halftime.

Southern Miss scored on its ensuing drive, on a Cole Mason 5-yard touchdown run, but the lead was shortlived as the Indians added a four-yard run by Nick Noce with six seconds remaining before the half, tying the game, 10-10.

Southern Miss retook the lead in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Hull, but Noce found Manuel Burton for a two-yard touchdown, knotting the game with 8:51 remain-ing in the third quarter.

The Golden Eagles then took the lead for good on the next drive, when Almond and Nelson connected on a 29-yard touchdown. Arkansas State added a a safety follow-ing a bad snal on a punt attempt, but Almond found Nelson for a six-yard touchdown, with 8:22 remaining, to make the final margin of victory.

Almond finished with 253 passing yards, completing 17-of-32 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns.

Southern Miss scored three second-quarter touchdowns to defeat Mid-American Conference foe Ohio, 28-7, in the Eighth Annual GMAC Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

After a scoreless opening quarter, true freshman Tory Har-rison got the Golden Eagles on the scoreboard with a 43-yard rushing touchdown with 8:33 left in the period. It was the longest rushing touchdown of the year for Southern Miss as his score ended an eight-play, 90-yard drive.

Fellow freshman Damion Fletcher added a two-yard run for a score with 3:03 remaining before halftime to give the Golden Eagles an insurmountable advantage. Fletcher, the game’s most valuable player, finished the contest with 58 yards on 20 car-ries to go along with three receptions for 28 yards.

Then it was the defense’s turn to get in the on the scoring barrage right before the half.

The game’s defensive most valuable player, James Denley, picked off a Brad Bower pass and returned it 18 yards for a score to complete the Golden Eagles second-quarter scor-ing with 1:13 to play. The 21 points tied a season-high for a quarter with which they did two other times during the year. It also marked the seventh non-offensive touchdown for Southern Miss during the campaign – the most in a sea-son in the Jeff Bower era.

The offense then put the game out of reach to start the third quarter as the Golden Eagles took the opening kickoff and put together a drive that spanned 80 yards and 17 plays. More importantly, the drive consumed 9:55 of the game

Ben Mauk completed 30-of-52 passes for 334 yards and four scores as 20th-ranked Cincinnati collected a 31-21 vic-tory over Southern Miss in the 2nd annual Papajohns.com Bowl at Legion Field in Birmingham.

DeAngelo Smith led an opportunistic Bearcats defense, intercepting Southern Miss quarterback Jeremy Young three times.

Dominick Goodman hauled in seven passes - includ-ing two touchdowns - for 95 yards and Connor Barwin

and Antwuan Giddens also finished with seven receptions each. Mauk was intercepted three times, but also rushed for 41 yards.

Young was 18-for-32 for 122 yards passing with a pair of touchdowns in addition to the three picks. The senior also rushed for 55 yards and a score in his final collegiate outing.

Damion Fletcher carried 29 times for 155 yards, but the Golden Eagles were unable to generate any offense on their final two scoring opportunities and had a two-game win streak snapped in their last game under longtime head coach Jeff Bower.

Down 31-14 following a pair of Cincinnati scores late in the third quarter, Southern Miss didn’t go away, driving 76 yards to pull back within 10 points. Young hit Chris Johnson over the middle for a five-yard TD to complete the drive with 9:37 remaining.

The Eagles then attempted an onside kick, and momen-tarily appeared to have recovered, but Barwin emerged with the ball, positioning the Bearcats in USM territory. The Southern Miss defense held, but on the following series Fletcher was stopped short of converting a 4th-and-1 from the 14, seemingly killing the team’s comeback chances.

Mauk threw an interception in the end zone, giving the Eagles one final opportunity, but on 4th-and-22 from the 32, Young was intercepted by Smith for the third time on the day, stifling the final threat.

NEW ORLEANS - Michael McGee blocked Sam Glusman’s 28-yard overtime field goal attempt, giving Southern Miss a come-from-behind 30-27 victory.

Britt Barefoot managed to push a 39-yard attempt off the left upright and through for a three-point USM lead in the opening of overtime.

On Troy’s ensuing drive, Glusman lined up at the left hashmark for a 28-yard attempt, but his try was smothered at the line by McGee.

Austin Davis threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns on 20-of-34 passes for USM, who ended the season by win-ning their final five games.

Gerald Baptiste and Johnathan Massey posted TD recep-tions and Damion Fletcher gained 78 yards on 14 carries with a TD for Southern Miss, which dealt with the loss of wideout DeAndre Brown with a serious leg injury in the first quarter.

Behind 27-17 deficit with 9 1/2 minutes left, the Eagle defense stopped Troy on a 4th-and-1 from their 39, and five plays later Davis found Massey wide open for a 35-yard touch-down and with the extra point were within three.

The Trojans went three-and-out on the next drive, and Fletcher’s 22-yard dash helped set up Barefoot’s 46-yard attempt with 2:50 to play.

The Trojans took an early advantage less than a minute into the contest, as Jorrick Calvin picked up a Davis fumble and rolled 17 yards into the end zone.

Davis then took to the air to tie the game on the next series, finding Baptiste for a 64-yard pass only 48 seconds later.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Dwight Dasher ran for 201 yards and two touchdowns and threw two scoring passes to lead Middle Tennessee to a 42-32 victory.

Dasher completed 15 of 25 for 162 yards and ran 26 times.Damion Fletcher ran for 78 yards for the Golden Eagles

Martevious Young completed 18 of 34 for 271 yards and three touchdowns for USM.

Southern Miss started strong, scoring on their first pos-session as Tory Harrison rushed for a 2-yard touchdown. On their second possession the Golden Eagles stretched their lead to 14-0 on a 24-yard reception by DeAndre Brown.

The Blue Raiders pulled even in the second quarter on an 11-yard reception by Garrett Anders, and--after Alex Suber intercepted Young on the Southern Miss 12--a 9-yard TD catch by Shane Blissard.

Southern Miss held a 17-14 edge at halftime thanks to Danny Hrapmann’s 20-yard field goal as time expired.

Dasher opened the third quarter with a 35-yard touch-down run. When Dasher left briefly with an ankle injury, Brent Burnette capped 76-yard scoring drive with a 23-yard TD pass to Chris McClover.

Hrapmann hit a 38-yard field goal to cut the Blue Raiders lead to 28-20 at the end of three quarters.

Southern Miss had a chance to tie it early in the fourth, making it 28-26 on Brown’s 7-yard TD reception, but the 2-point conversion failed.

Benjamin Cunningham and Dasher ran for touchdowns to make it 42-26 for Middle Tennessee.

HONOLULU (AP) - Austin Davis threw two touch-downs, including a 4-yarder late in the game, and No. 22 Southern Miss earned a school-record 12th victory by hold-ing off Nevada 24-17 in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl.

On the winning drive, Davis was 3-of-4 for 66 yards, including a 43-yard completion to Dominique Sullivan down the right sideline and a 19-yarder to a crossing William Spight. Sullivan had five catches for 75 yards.

With Davis held in check, the Golden Eagles relied on their defense, stopping Lampford Mark on fourth-and-1 at midfield with 3:56 left. Mark had 183 yards rushing for the Wolf Pack but was held to just 21 yards in the second half after scoring twice in the second quarter.

Nevada tied the game 17-17 late in the third quarter on a 37-yard field goal by Allen Hardison, taking advantage of a miscue by Southern Miss. Lampley waved for a fair catch on a punt and was run into by teammate Alex Smith. The ball bounced off Lampley’s left leg and Nevada’s Brandon Marshall recovered on the Southern Miss 14, leading to the field goal.

Just as Nevada seemed to take control of the game, Southern Miss scored 10 points in the final 1 1/2 minutes of the first half to take a 17-14 lead into the break.

Danny Hrapmann kicked a 48-yard field goal by Hrapmann with 1:21 left in the half. to cut the gap to 14-10.

On the ensuing kickoff, Wooten fumbled and Southern Miss’s Emmanuel Johnson recovered at the Nevada 24. Seven plays later, Davis threw a 2-yard pass to Lampley in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead score.

With both teams struggling to get going, special teams got the Golden Eagles on the scoreboard from a blocked punt by Tim Green early in the second quarter.

Green burst through the middle and leaped in the air, getting his hand on the ball as he flipped over a blocker. Tray Becton-Martin then dropped on the ball in the end zone, giving the Golden Eagles a 7-0 lead. Tray Becton-Martin was the 25th different player to score for the Golden Eagles this year, which led the nation.

Cordarro Law was named the USM Most Valuable Player by registering seven tackles, including a pair of sacks for 12 yards and 4.5 tackles for loss for 15.

In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the class-room.

ly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and com-missioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.

The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the cur-rent office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner.

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league com-petition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began foot-ball play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005.

In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

C-USA Bowl Overview 2014-2019

Conference USA will have 10 bowl affiliations through the 2019 season, securing a minimum

of five berths annually and offering fans a number of great destinations between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.

Conference USA has agreements with three new bowls: the Bahamas Bowl, Boca Raton Bowl and Miami Beach Bowl, along with a first-time agreement with the Gildan New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque. Additionally, C-USA maintains rela-tionships with three ESPN-owned bowls: Beef `O’ Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla., Heart of Dallas Bowl, and the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl in Honolulu, as well as the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

Conference USA has secondary agreements with two bowls also located right within the league’s footprint, giving teams the opportunities to par-ticipate in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas and the Duck Commander Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La.

Conference USA has five primary agreements and one secondary agreement for the 2014 season. The Bahamas, Boca Raton, Gildan New Mexico, Heart of Dallas and Sheraton Hawai’i Bowls are primary agreements. The Duck Commander Independence Bowl is a secondary agreement.

Conference USA’s champion will select which bowl it would like to attend and the remainder of the selections will follow after that, with no particular set order.
