Southern Miss football vs. Troy: Scouting report, score prediction

Southern Miss football is set to make its Sun Belt Conference debut.

The Golden Eagles (2-2, 0-0 SBC) travel to take on Troy (3-2, 1-1) on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN+) for their first game in their new conference home.

Here's what to know ahead of kickoff.

Picture at quarterback unclear for Troy

Troy comes into this game experiencing something Southern Miss understands well: a lack of clarity at the quarterback position.

Starter Gunnar Watson was injured in the Trojans' game against Western Kentucky last weekend and was replaced by Jarret Doege, who ultimately led Troy to a key win.
