For the first time since the 1996 season, the FSU football team will face off on the field of battle with the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. While the schools were never traditional rivals, they played over 20 games in a 50 season period of showdowns that took place before almost every member of both rosters were even born.
While the Seminoles are a heavy favorite in this game, the Noles know all too well that they can not afford to take the men from Conference USA for granted if they want to extend their streak of winning seasons that dates back to the 1977 season.
