The Golden Eagles beat Charlotte 66-21 Saturday. Jason Munz/Hattiesburg American

There was great offense, great defense and some great moments on special teams in Southern Miss’ 66-21 win over Charlotte Saturday.

Each week, we pick a handful of subjects to examine and we grade them based on their performance. This week’s progress report will reflect how dominant the Golden Eagles (7-4, 5-2 Conference USA) were.

A — Run game. Just about everything Southern Miss did on offense worked to perfection. No turnovers. No sacks allowed. Kwadra Griggs had 221 passing yards and completed 20 of his 27 attempts.
