It was an ugly game. Southern Miss lost 41-13, which makes the following numbers both humorous and upsetting.
Total Yards:
South Carolina: 449
Southern Miss: 404
Trips to the red Zone: Southern Miss: 6… only 2 of which resulted in points.
As good as South Carolina was… Southern Miss beat themselves.
For the sake of argument, let’s assume Southern Miss scores 7 on each of those other four trips into the red zone (LOL!), 28 points would have been the result. The score in “Landon’s Hypothetical Land”: 41-41. (Southern Miss would have found a way to lose in overtime.)
If for some reason or another you are upset with me and would like to get me riled up by bringing to light additional embarrassing statistics… have at it and post your findings in the comments section below.
