Printz reporters predict USM football season
LUKE SMITH
The Southern Miss Golden Eagles will begin the 2016 football season Saturday in Lexington, Kentucky against the Kentucky Wildcats of the SEC. After a successful 9-5 season last year, new head coach Jay Hopson looks to continue Todd Monken’s success in 2016 with a favorable schedule.
Southern Miss features an explosive offense led by 2015 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year senior quarterback Nick Mullens. Kentucky has an inexperienced defense, so expect a shootout
in Lexington. I believe it will be a close game, but Kentucky will pull away in the end.
