Tech and Southern Miss have played each other 18 times since 1968 and USM leads 11-7 and the average score is 20-18. USM won the last 2 games in 2010 and 2011 by a combined score of 32-29.

Southern Miss has won 6 conference championships since 1968 and Tech has won 9. USM won the CUSA championship this year and Tech won the WAC championship this year. (USM beat Tech 19-17 in Hattiesburg this year).

You're ability to pick and choose statistics is astounding. You're choices to focus on the very broad as well as the extremely recent tells a nice story, but it's not exactly reality.

If you wanna go broad let's go broad, all time Southern Miss leads the series 31-13. You wanna go recent, let's go recent, in the last ten games Southern Miss is 8-2. Southern Miss has 20 bowl appearances to Tech's 6.

Don't get me wrong, Tech is a fine program, with more football tradition than most of the Sun Belt, but Southern Miss has a markedly better program.

I was simply showing the modern era. I don't put a lot of stock in the games played before the helmet or the forward pass was invented. Southern Miss has been more consistent than Tech as far as winning records go, but over the past 40 years, they are very similar... both in total wins and games against each other.

I don't see why you don't put stock in games 60 years ago, but you do games 40 years ago. Today's game has about as much in common with the game of the 70's as it does the game of the 50's. Realistically I'd say going back more than 20 years is probably a stretch.

I was just looking at that. Tech and USM have both been playing at the same level since Tech went FBS in 1989. USM has out-performed Tech slightly in that time:

Tech vs

AQ: 10-54-2
Non-AQ: 105-79-1
FCS: 14-1

USM vs

AQ: 18-53
Non-AQ: 137-61-1
FCS: 11-0

Head to Head:
USM won 3 out of 4:

14-30 in Ruston
16-13 in Hattiesburg
13-12 in Ruston
19-17 in Hattiesburg

Winning seasons:
Tech-9
USM-20

Bowl games:
Tech-4
USM-15
