Playing at home for the second week in a row to start the season, the Southern Miss football team lost a close contest to the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, 21-20.
“For the most part, I thought we didn’t play good today,” Southern Miss Head Coach Jay Hopson said. “That’s my fault. If there’s one guy you’re going to blame, blame me.”
Sophomore quarterback Jack Abraham and sophomore wide receiver Jaylond Adams put the Golden Eagles on the board on the first play from scrimmage. Adams scored on a 75-yard shovel pass from Abraham to put the team up early.
