USM, back in the day before they got moved off the schedule, were hell on wheels against their fellow Miss. opponents. I am not saying this to denigrate either Ole Miss or MSU. Both programs had historically dominated USM but in the years before the two SEC schools dropped USM the Golden Eagles had been tapping that arse.

Not joking or poking fun at Ole Miss or MSU here. Southern Miss had turned into a buzzsaw against them. It happens.

It was a different era for college football and Southern Miss being the biggest school in state actually had a recruiting advantage of sorts over their instate rivals. It obviously did not work out long term for Southern Miss. Now Ole Miss and MSU can lay legitimate claim to being good teams in the toughest conference in college football.

If anything it speaks to the success MSU and Ole Miss have enjoyed recently that they are both good teams in the toughest conference and with a legitimate mid major power (when they aren't in a state of complete collapse) lurking in state to battle them for recruits.

TLDR; I don't think its a matter of offensive scheme that dismantled Southern Miss. They had really bad luck with coaches while their instate rivals have been impressive lately. As MSU proved recently Southern Miss is clearly a tier or two below Ole Miss and MSU right now.
