Southern Miss 31 ... Arkansas State 19

New Orleans Bowl ... It wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been. Southern Miss showed from the opening drive that its offense could rumble at will on the Arkansas State defense, but there was clearly rust from the month-long layoff. Little mistakes like kickoffs out of bounds, to big things like a lost fumble at the one and a bad snap on a punt for a safety kept the Golden Eagles from pulling away, but ASU simply couldn't hold up on the defensive line and couldn't go on enough long, sustained drives with star RB Antonio Warren knocked out with an ankle injury. Indian QB Nick Noce carried the offense by himself keeping drives alive with his legs while showing no fear in bombing away deep on the USM corners; it was a great final performance to end his career on. Despite the double-digit loss, ASU represented itself well in a more entertaining game than it might appear in the box score.

I am just glad the NO Bowl was not in the Flat-out sucked section.
