Southern Miss Golden Eagles Face Texas State Bobcats in Key Matchup

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — The Southern Miss Golden Eagles (7-2) will host the Texas State Bobcats (3-6) today at M.M. Roberts Stadium in a crucial Sun Belt matchup.

The game is set to kickoff at 2:30 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN+. Southern Miss aims to extend their winning streak to six games and maintain their perfect record in conference play.

Despite a mid-season slump, where they started with a 2-2 record, the Golden Eagles have rebounded strongly with five consecutive victories. A win today could further solidify their position at the top of the Sun Belt West standings.

Southern Miss quarterback recently returned from a knee injury and is expected to play after leading two touchdown drives last week. He has thrown for 2,186 yards, completing 67.3% of his passes, with 19 touchdowns and just five interceptions throughout the season.

On the other hand, the Bobcats are desperate for a win, having lost five straight games, including a narrow 42-39 loss to Louisiana last week. The team is currently looking for its first conference victory after struggling throughout Sun Belt competition.

Six Texas State players have been suspended following an incident during last week’s game, affecting the team’s depth and creating challenges for the coaching staff. The team’s focus is on overcoming these adversities to improve their season.

The Southern Miss Golden Eagles have a scheduled game against South Alabama next week and are eyeing a possible title run if they continue their winning ways against Texas State today.
