Three seasons of no bowl appearances and just four wins in three years. That was Southern Miss football from 2012-14, with no end in sight.
Seasons come and go, and some are forgotten over time. But the season the Golden Eagles recently had, should be stamped into the hearts and minds of everyone, not just USM fans.
The 2015 football campaign was not just a comeback season, but also a historic one. Southern Miss finished their season with a 4,000 yard quarterback in Nick Mullens, a 1,000 yard receiver in Michael Thomas and two 1,000 yard running backs with Ito Smith and Jalen Richard, respectively.
