USM caps taxing season with GMAC Bowl win
LAFAYETTE, LA — Southern Mississippi's
win in the New Orleans Bowl was a lot like the rest of the team's season — a
struggle.
Shawn Nelson caught a pair of
second-half touchdowns, and Cody Hull added 161 yards rushing to lead the
Golden Eagles over Arkansas State 31-19 Tuesday night in the first of the
season's 28 bowl games.
Southern Miss endured plenty of turmoil
long before arriving in Lafayette, where the New Orleans Bowl was moved
because of Hurricane Katrina. The Golden Eagles had two games postponed in
September because of Katrina and Hurricane Rita, had to relocate temporarily
to Memphis and played nine games in nine weeks to end the regular season.
Against the Indians, Southern Miss
fumbled twice on its first two drives and didn't take control until well
into the second half.
Arkansas State tied the game at 17 in
the third quarter on Nick Noce's 2-yard pass to Manuel Burton, but Dustin
Almond answered with a 29-yard toss to Nelson to make it 24-17.
The Indians scored on a safety when
Southern Miss punter Luke Johnson knocked the ball out of the back of the
end zone after a bad snap. The Golden Eagles made it 31-19 on Almond's
6-yard pass to Nelson with 8:22 remaining in the game.
Arkansas State (6-6) was in its first
bowl since moving back up from Division I-AA. The Indians were in I-AA from
1982-91, and before that, their last postseason appearance was against
Central Missouri State in the 1970 Pecan Bowl.
Southern Mississippi (7-5) made its
fourth straight postseason appearance and eighth in nine years. The Golden
Eagles beat North Texas 31-10 in last year's New Orleans Bowl.
