37-2 in 2019
62-27 in 2013
70-14 in 2008.

That 2013 game was maybe the absolute low-point of our program, when we hit bottom with McGee in what thankfully turned out to be his last game. USM had lost 23 straight games coming into that game--they were 0-12 the year before, and 0-11 when they came to Legion Field, and then they beat us like a dog.

And the 2008 debacle was hard to swallow. I had hopes we might beat them, but we were down 28-0 by the end of the first quarter and something like 49-7 at the half. They hit 70 in the third quarter, and were merciful not to go for triple digits. Classic Callaway
