The Southern Miss football team's Conference USA competition will not change in 2018.
The Golden Eagles will face the same league opponents it did last season, the only differences being the dates and sites. Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Rice and UTSA will travel to Hattiesburg, while Southern Miss will take trips to UAB, North Texas, Charlotte and UTEP.
The Black and Gold will host Rice on Sept.
