Texas State will celebrate its homecoming this season by hosting Sun Belt newcomer Southern Miss.
The Golden Eagles were one of three teams to move from Conference USA to the Sun Belt during conference realignment. They’ll be hoping the change generates some momentum for the program after struggling throughout Will Hall’s first season as head coach in 2021, going 3-9 overall and 2-6 in Conference USA play.
There are other reasons for optimism as well. Southern Miss ended the year on a high note, defeating Louisiana Tech and FIU despite not having a healthy quarterback on the roster. And the team returns 85% of its production from last year per ESPN’s Bill Connelly — the most of any opponent the Bobcats will face this year.
