Yeah, the first scenario I posted (cool and dry) will win out over warm and wet. Should be ideal football weather - let's hope for ideal football on the field too!

- our special teams have scored 4 TDs...twice on the opening kickoff, another one for 100 yards along with a punt return TD. Our FG kicker has been almost automatic

Our strategy is to keep the ball out of the hands of your dangerous kickoff returners by not kicking off.

Well played

Somehow, ESPN gives the Owls a 23.5% chance of defeating Southern Miss.

Must know something those of us who actually watch the games don’t.

Based on last week’s dismal result, that seems weird.
Based on the body of work, we’ve been “in it” against all levels of competition except a top ten team. So that seems about right.

Rice 8, USM 7.

Why not just reprise one of our most famous wins and predict 7-6?

I don’t know, I suppose it would be 6 of one or two-thirds of a dozen of the other.
