Southern Miss heads to ULM on Saturday looking to build on its first win in more than a month and secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season. The Golden Eagles’ offense is coming off a 35-31 win over Louisiana, while ULM arrives after earning its first victory of the year.

By the Numbers
  • Southern Miss: 2-5 overall, 1-2 in Sun Belt play; ULM: 1-6 overall, 1-2 in the conference.
  • Southern Miss leads the series 7-3 and beat ULM 49-21 last season.
  • Jamarice Wilder rushed for 154 yards and Steven Robinson for 145 against Louisiana—the program’s first game with two 100-yard rushers in a decade.
  • Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN+.
Yes, But

Both teams are tied at 1-2 in Sun Belt play, and ULM is coming off a dramatic win at Troy, scoring 18 points in the final 2:34. Southern Miss has the stronger recent history in the matchup, but ULM’s late rally signals it can be dangerous.

What's Next

After Saturday’s game, Southern Miss returns home to face James Madison on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

Bottom Line

Southern Miss has momentum and a productive rushing attack, but a second straight win will require handling a ULM team that just showed it can swing a game quickly.
