Southern Miss at North Texas

The glory days and a long consecutive Bowl streak went out the door when Coach Larry Fedora moved on. Southern Miss has endured some trying times to say the least. The better news is here we are through six games and the Golden Eagles have already won two games - more than they accomplished the previous two seasons. They have four losses, but Alabama and Miss State are excusable. They are certainly a much improved team, and came within 6 points in their last game at Middle Tennessee of getting to .500. North Texas has two wins as well, but one vs. Nichols State, and the other came vs. SMU who went scoreless for 11 quarters this season already. Their four losses have all been by 3 TDs or more, after being 1-23 the last two years, and Southern Miss is vastly improved, but no one wants to touch them. North Texas is right within their grasp, and taking 10 or so points on the road makes them an under-the-radar live dog here. Grab the points on Southern Miss in this one.
