Do the Miners really have a shot at going 5-1? Southern Miss at one point was winning games left and right. They were the cream of the crop, in CUSA. Then Bower resigned, the coach that led the Golden Eagles to many bowl games. The man named coach of the decade in CUSA. Some say, he was forced out. If so, USM has never truly recovered. Now there are talks of the Nasty bunch heading to the Sun Belt. You’d have to think, “oh how have the mighty fallen” and yet here we are. Southern Miss, hoping for a victory over an improved Miner team. Or are they? Can this UTEP team, with Cowing, Hardison, and Hankins, win? I don’t know folks, but if they do. It may just be the spark UTEP needs. A loss, might bring out the “I told ya so, same ol UTEP.” I’m personally torn, I think they can win, but a part of me can see Boise St, all over again… Scary.
