In a narrative-packed night of college football, the unfortunate conclusion of a wild game supersedes all for the Louisiana Tech football team: a loss.

Tech (3-4, 1-2 Conference USA) met Southern Miss (5-2, 3-1 C-USA) in a damp and gloomy atmosphere that the two teams have started to grow accustomed to when playing each other, with five out of their last seven meetings including forecasted showers.

Not even the rain, however, could stop the Golden Eagles from coming back to humble the Bulldogs, as Southern Miss overcame a 27-16 deficit late in the fourth quarter to force overtime and top Tech 34-27 in double OT.
