HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss football goes after its second consecutive win this Saturday when they travel to ULM for a Sun Belt Conference West Division Showdown at FMOL Health – St. Francis Stadium in Monroe, La.
Game time is set for 2:30 p.m. and can be seen via ESPN+, as well as heard on an affiliate of the Southern Miss Sports Network and through SouthernMiss.com.
The Golden Eagles (2-5 overall, 1-2 Sun Belt) vie for consecutive wins for the first time since capturing five-straight victories last season. ULM (1-6, 1-2) comes off its first win of the season, having scored 18 points in the final 2:34 to win at Troy, 21-14, last Saturday.
In its 35-31 homecoming victory over Louisiana last weekend, both Jamarice Wilder and Steven Robinson paced Southern Miss with over 100 yards rushing, marking the first time in a decade that they had two players achieve that feat in the same game. Wilder finished with 154 yards and the game-winning touchdown with 58 seconds remaining, while Robinson added 145 yards and three rushing scores.
Robinson continues to lead the Southern Miss ground game with 577 yards on 121 carries for a 4.8 yard per carry average and a team-best eight rushing touchdowns. Wilder holds 372 yards on the ground on 57 rushes for a 6.5 average and four scores on the ground.
Quarterback Landry Lyddy is expected to make his fifth-straight start this season and has thrown for 1,196 yards on 101-of-170 throws with seven touchdowns and four interceptions.
Lyddy's top targets have included Mario Sanders, who has team highs in catches (40), receiving yards (569) and touchdown catches (5). AJ Little is next at 17 catches for 271 yards with Kaden Saunders adding 15 receptions for 197 yards.
On defense, both Michael Robinson III and Mathis Haygood lead the way with 63 tackles apiece, while Wesley Edison is third with 47. Haygood also holds the team lead in tackles for loss with 5.5, while Jameer Lewis is first in sacks for the squad.
This game marks the 11th meeting between the two schools in football with the Golden Eagles leading 7-3, including a 49-21 victory in Hattiesburg last season. Southern Miss is also 3-1 over the Warhawks since joining the Sun Belt.
Following the ULM contest, the Golden Eagles return home next week to face James Madison, Thursday, Nov. 5. Game time is set for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast via ESPN2.
