A quarter of the way through the season, Southern Miss is 2-1.

The Golden Eagles moved one game above .500 after Saturday’s 28-17 road win over ULM. It was a game that didn’t produce any significant red flags.

Well — maybe one. A yellow one. But we’ll get to that later. For now, let’s tackle a few of the high notes.

A — Ito Smith. He’s baaaaaaaack. The senior running back rattled off a career-high 219 yards (the third-most by any Southern Miss senior) on 27 carries and threw in a touchdown.
