Southern Miss football grades vs. Northwestern State: Golden Eagles move to head of class

Southern Miss football did what it was supposed to against a vastly inferior opponent in Northwestern State on Saturday night at M. M. Roberts Stadium.

Let by a dominant first-half defensive performance, the Golden Eagles (1-2) bested the Demons (0-3) to win 64-10

Here's our report card from the game.

Offense B+

It's difficult to argue with 64 points.

The total marks the most produced by a Southern Miss team since 2015, but it's worth noting that nine of those points came from the Golden Eagles defense.

The most encouraging aspect of this offensive performance from the Golden Eagles was the big-play ability.
