On a cloudy day in Shreveport, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles took on the Florida State Seminoles, and the Noles reminded everyone that even though they may have been 6-6, they were still Florida State.
Freshman running back Cam Akers broke the FSU record for most rushing yards in a season by a freshman, a record previously held by Dalvin Cook. His 94 yards set his final 2017 total at 1,024.
Southern Miss started the game well enough, capitalizing on a roughing the punter penalty to score the game’s first points, a keeper from quarterback Kwadra Griggs.
