With the game on the line, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles knew exactly where to turn.
For four years now, Southern Miss has enjoyed the extraordinary talents of running back Frank Gore Jr. The son of the third-leading rusher in NFL history continues to pile amazing stat-lines. He was nearly a 1,400-yard rusher in 2022, shattering the record for most rushing yards in a bowl game by posting 329 to upend Rice in the LendingTree Bowl.
Trailing 31-28 in overtime against Louisiana, there was no question where the ball would wind up as Southern Miss attempted to pull off the upset.
