Cajuns, fans may have been too focused on records in rivalry game

The problem with dismissing cliches is that most of them are grounded in truth. UL coach Mike Desormeaux heard the talk. He knew most of his players and fans thought Saturday's road trip to play a 1-5 Southern Miss team was going to be the easiest Sun Belt game so far this season.

For some, it was another not-so-surprising horror show in Hattiesburg

For many fans, worrying about how a program has competed against another program over five decades is irrelevant. As it turned out Saturday night at The Rock in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the historical paranoia old-school UL fans were saddled with going into the matchup with Southern Miss was the only thing that made any sense at all after the Cajuns fell 35-31 to the Golden Eagles, dropping to 2-25 all-time on that field.

Brookhaven football defense dominates in big win over South Jones

The Brookhaven defense made its presence felt all night long in the Panthers' 49-16 win over South Jones. In the first quarter of the game on Oct. 23 at South Jones High School, Brookhaven (8-0) scored two defensive touchdowns, sucking the energy out of the home crowd and helping the the Panthers jump out to an early 28-0 lead. The unit is typically led by senior defensive lineman and University of Texas commit Derwin Fields, and while Fields had an impactful night in the trenches, the defensive standouts for Brookhaven were sophomore defensive end Landon Baker and senior defensive back Reece McNulty, both of whom returned interceptions for touchdowns in the first quarter. "It just made me happy," Fields said. "It's just great seeing them on the field doing what they got to do and executing the job." The fast start set the tone for the rest of the game and quickly killed any upset aspirations that South Jones (6-3) had. In the second quarter, safety Semaj Ross intercepted a pass for the defense's third of the first half. "I was very pleased with how we came out in the beginning," Brookhaven coach Darien Dorsey said. "We were locked in.

Jamarice Wilder cut 16 yards through the Louisiana defense and into the end zone for what would be the go-ahead score in Southern Miss’ first conference win of the season. The Golden Eagles (2-5, 1-2) stunned rival Louisiana (5-3, 2-2), 35-31, in Saturday’s homecoming game behind 324 yards and four touchdowns from the USM running back duo of Steven Robinson and Wilder, and a fourth-quarter defensive score. “To put our most complete game together, tonight, against a really good football team and a well-coached football team, I’m just beyond proud,” USM coach Blake Anderson said after the game. Southern Miss trailed 28-21 early in the fourth quarter before USM defensive back Kolby Peavy jumped a Lunch Winfield pass and returned it 30 yards for the game-tying score. Louisiana responded with a 17-play drive that resulted in a short field goal that briefly gave the Ragin’ Cajuns a 31-28 lead. The Golden Eagles’ offense drove 75 yards in under two minutes and capped the possession with Wilder’s touchdown dash. Robinson scored all three of USM’s touchdowns in the first half and finished with a season-high 145 rushing yards. Wilder added 145 yards on the ground. The win snapped a five-game losing
