Open out to a quick 10-0 lead in the first on a 80-yard run up the middle and a FG following a USM fumble. Golden Eagles still look half asleep.

ref: bettors' thread

to put a quasi plagiarizing spin on Ace whilst smoking..... USM 0 BYE ∞

Open'a wideout gets behind the entire defense and has to stop & come back for the short throw, but still takes it 63 yards to the house. Open up 17-0.

USM's currently across midfield on the ensuing drive, but just had an 18-yard run by Ito taken back on a holding call.

Eagles settle for a FG after a couple of false start penalties. 17-3 Open, 8+ minutes left in the half.

if'n weez only hads deez guys watchin' over us....southern miss football would rule the universe once bammers finally joins the NoFunLeague....







....it's a bye week, right? might as well have fun with it....

After the teams exchange a few punts, Mullens & Staggers connect for a 37-yard TD with 56 seconds left in the half, cutting Open's lead to 7. Open decides it's happy going into the locker room with the lead and allows the clock to run out on its ensuing possession. 17-10 Open at half. Eagles will receive the 2nd-half kickoff.

why change things up (the defer) when on the road at bye???

Is this a home game? That's what's important.

bye has an advantage on any 'rock'.....bye has won on the moon....I 'saw'd' it wif me own twos wide eyes open....we now call it a full monty troy

USM marches down the field at will to open the 2nd half. Payne scores from 2 yards out to cap the drive. 17 all, 11 minutes and change left in the 3rd.

I see this one going into TTT OT.....

USM grabs the momentum. Elijah Parker forces a fumble inside the Open 40. Offense quickly converts on a long run by Ito on a sweep. 24-17 Eagles, roughly 3 mins left in the 3rd.

...aaaaand Open returns the ensuing kickoff inside the USM 10.

Imma gonna go mow some green....can't wait to see how this ends.....

Sounds like a great game. Shame it isn't at least steaming

Defense holds Open to a FG with the help of a holding penalty on an apparent TD. 24-20, under a minute left in the 3rd.

USM returns the KO from 5 yds inside the end zone and "returns" it to the 9 yard line.
Ito gains 3 to the 12...Jones drops a WR screen...and a wide open Thompson drops a potential TD pass..

USM fakes punt, Open is ready and smothers it...Open takes over at USM 5 yard line

Open QB scores on 3rd down, somehow untouched on a QB wedge. 27-24, 11+ left in the game.

Open catches USM napping with a successful on-sides kick! Open ball at midfield.

Open converts a 3rd-and-9 with a completion to a wide-a**ed open WR. Fortunately, he stumbled out of bounds at the 15. USM defense then bows up with a stuffed run and 2 consecutive sacks. Open barely sneaks a 41-yd FG inside the left upright. 30-24 Open, just under 6 minutes to go.
