Southern Miss evades Central Florida 19-14
So pop's boys managed to hold off Central Florida racking up 3 sacks on UCF's final drive to put the nail in the coffin with a 19-14 finish. Our offense didn't convert a 3rd down until midway through the 3rd quarter, yet UCF only had 7 points on the scoreboard. A combination of determination, miscues, and luck allowed Southern Miss to scream to 3-1, with their only loss to top 10 ranked Florida.Besides the freshman phenom, Damion Fletcher, the offense left a lot to be desired. Save for one or two deep passes, they never seemed to click. Our defense came up huge though as USM's linebacker, Lyons, proved to be the difference in the game when he went pick-6 after our punter, (aptly named "Barefoot"), pinned UCF inside the 2 yard line. I'd even like to add that Mom called for the INT -> Touchdown right before that drive, and what do you know, it happened on the first play.
As many of you know, watching dad's games is one of my favorite things in the world to do. Next week I get to watch them again as they've got the Tuesday night ESPN2 game vs University of Tulsa, defending Conference USA champs. Last night Southern Miss took down last year's conference runner up, next week it's time to dethrone the champion and move to 4-1.
