South Alabama beat Southern Miss in its season-opener for the second consecutive year, spoiling Head Coach Will Hall’s debut with a 31-7 victory.

Hall’s first game did not go to plan, with Southern Miss turning the ball over five times and allowing 31 unanswered points. Hall said the team executed poorly on offense and took the blame.

“I’ve been around football for a long time,” Hall said. “I’ve been a part of 11 championship teams and that’s probably the worst offensive performance I’ve ever been a part of. That’s humiliating; it’s on me.
