Southern Miss is Alabama's 9th most played series.
We played them almost every year from the mid-60s to the mid 2000's. The games in the 90's and 2000's were wars. Southern Miss used to be very, very good defensively when Bower was there.

Kind of thread hijack:
What has led to Southern Miss' fall? (from their level where they always won their conference, were consistent and gave SEC teams fits) Was it bad conference alignment, improvement in scouting that led to fewer diamonds in the rough slipping through, the improvement and/or rise of Troy and Louisiana Lafayette? Did SEC revenue just put State and Ole Miss on too high a plane facility wise? Or were they poorly managed by the athletic department? Maybe ghost of Jeff Bower?
Anybody's thoughts? I think its a combination of bad athletic leadership and the rise of the Troys and ULaLa's that hurt them the most. They never really out-recruited anybody, they just evaluated and developed talent better (imo). We they couldn't automatically get the best second tier players from south Alabama and Louisiana it hurt them.
