In wake of the 24-10 Tennessee loss, Southern Miss has now dropped two major games in a row. On top of that Southern Miss for two games in a row now, has missed out on securing bowl eligibility.
Much of the blame belongs to the inconsistency of the offense and a plethora of mental mistakes.
Inconsistent quarterback:
Despite, favored starting quarterback Kwadra Griggs going down with injury, quarterback Keon Howard did his job in leading his team to a three-game win streak in the games Griggs could not play in.
After that win streak, in both the University of Alabama Birmingham and Tennessee games, a not 100% Griggs played backup to Howard.
