HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Southern Miss football team held their 23rd practice this season this afternoon at the Joe P. Park practice facility in preparations for Louisiana-Lafayette, who will visit "The Rock" next Saturday with kick off set for 6:00 p.m.
"Today was a good practice, the guys moved around a lot better than they did yesterday," head coach Larry Fedora said. "I hope everyone is excited as we are right now. We are working very hard to put a quality product on the field to excite our students and fans."
