1 down and only 27 more to go. So was surprised at how enjoyable this game was. It was a little back and forth. Plus sloppy play makes for excitement, especially when you really have no ties to either school. The magic number is 5. As in 5 total turnovers. Lots of mistakes for both of these teams. Arizona State hung in there and gave it a run for a while. But when they failed to match Southern Miss with a TD the golden eagles took over for good. Congrats to Southern Miss. a team that has met a lot of adversity this year because of Hurricane Katrina. They spent the preseason practicing at Memphis and didn't have a true home game for 5 or 6 games. The just finished off their regular season playing 4 games in 18 days.

Look out tonight Toledo/UTEP. I expect 100 combined points. This is a must see!!!!!!!
