By all accounts, Nick Mullens simply gets it.

Southern Miss’ true freshman quarterback, who was announced as the starter for Saturday’s homecoming game versus North Texas, may have turned 18 years old a mere seven months ago, but he’s miles ahead of where many others would be given the circumstances.

On Tuesday – a day after he was named the starting quarterback – when a reporter asked Mullens what he thought was his best attribute, he said his leadership ability and his accuracy.

“I have two that I really value: being a leader and being accurate,” he said. “They always say, ‘You can’t defend a perfect ball.’ So that’s what I try to do.”

Good game

Mullens, who has appeared in three games this season, saw his most significant playing time in relief of Allan Bridgford last week at East Carolina. He finished 9-of-17 for 97 yards with two touchdowns.

I get the feeling their squad will get a bit of a pump out of this change. We should expect them to come out tough. That being said, I hope we rattle this kid early and force him (and the other 6 true freshman starting) to begin to make mistakes.

Pretty much everyone comes out tough against us on the road.

It was during cleanup time against their 3rd string.

9-17 for 97 yards, 2 TDs and 1INT.

Against ECUs 3rd team.

He will be running for his life. I'm predicting 4 picks and less than 200 passing yards for the true freshman who just had 1st team reps this week and is making his first start in FBS football.

Make that 3 INTs and one TO by fumble. He does like to move around, after all.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      Goal Post Alert

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
