SHREVEPORT, Louisiana — Jay Hopson did not sugarcoat matters following Wednesday’s 42-13 shellacking at the hands of Florida State in the Independence Bowl.
The second-year Southern Miss football coach heaped plenty of praise on the Seminoles and credited them for an outstanding game plan and superior execution. Hopson stated the obvious, that Florida State boasts a roster chock full of four- and five5-star athletes that played like four- and five-star athletes against the Golden Eagles.
