The University of Miami hosts The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. Ranked 15th in the nation, Miami set out for another beatdown before starting the tough part of their schedule.
Southern Mississippi opted for just one bludgeoning this season, as all their other games will be far more balanced.

Southern Miss dropped their first game of the season last week. It was an overtime thriller against Liberty. It took four overtime for Liberty to pull off the win.

Southern Mississippi scored twenty-seven points and allowed Liberty to put up twenty-nine. It was an impressive offensive showing, but Frank Gore Jr. carried the team. Gore rushed for 178 yards, caught a pass, and threw four passes for 48 yards. He's a triple threat that Southern Miss will love having around.
Miami cooked Bethune-Cookman University, scoring 70 points last week and holding them to just 13. There is no reason to think this week's game, at home, should be much different. Miami will likely score fifty-two themselves. This is a great move for bettors.
Over 51.5 Points (-105)
University of Miami vs. Southern Mississippi Prediction
Many believe the "U" is finally back. However, fans have been saying that for almost twenty years now. Since Larry Coker left Miami in 2006, the university hasn't won much more than an ACC title. While this may be Miami's year, they are going to need to do a lot more than beat Bethune-Cookman.
Miami -25.5 (-106)
