Southern Miss has just about everything you could ask for in a G5 program.
Southern Miss is the only original member left in Conference USA. They lead the conference in CUSA Championships (5), bowl appearances (22) and bowl wins (10).
As the grandfather of CUSA they will always be synonymous with CUSA football no matter what conference they may join in the future as some of the conference's most landmark wins are held by Southern Miss. Alabama in 2000, Oklahoma State in 2001, and Nebraska in 2004.
Aside from Marshall, no other team in CUSA can make an argument of having a stronger winning tradition than the Golden Eagles.
