USM has a solid defense but so do we. I also think our offense is a little bit better all around.

Not a lot of talk about the game on here. People just batching about other stuff as always. Anyway I think this will be a slugfest. Can’t wait to make the trip to Hattiesburg. I haven’t been since 96 the week after we beat A&M. Wasn’t a pleasant trip. Hopefully this one will be much better.
USM was playing better under qb Ty Keyes who is now out for the season. Zach Wilckie is now the qb and has been a little bit of a turnover machine. He has 7 TDS and 8 INTs as a team they have turned it over a total of 17 times 11 ints and 6 fumbles. Couple that with a team that struggles on offense against a team that forces a lot of turnovers and that as that is a bad recipe.
Their defense is very salty though and could give us issues.
Field position, special teams, and as mentioned,turnovers will decide game...thats the norm when 2 good defenses face each other...btw, $6 seats in the upper deck are being sold...
This will be my first trip to Hattiesburg, and I'm fired up about it. I anticipate a low scoring game somewhere along the lines of 21-17 Cajuns.
Comes down to who do you trust? Do you trust this defense? (I do) Do you trust Ben Wooldridge? (I do) Do you trust this special teams unit? (TBD, but after Thurs, We'll have our answer)
Shout out to SlickRick and M$M who both said Ben was the guy months before Ben ended up being the guy. I trust Ben to not make big mistakes, throw it away when there's nothing to be gained, or just take what the defense gives him. I think we're a nightmare matchup for their offense. If we control field position, like we have many times this year, I think we win going away...
Oh for those making the trip, it is a blackout game for USM. Wear your red or white.
