Southern Miss, East Carolina Bowl Destinations Set

Filed under: East Carolina, Southern Miss, Bowl Games

Southern Miss, which finished second in Conference USA's East Division, has been invited to the Beef "O" Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl, while East Carolina is headed to the Military Bowl, industry sources told FanHouse Monday.

Southern Miss (8-4) will be making its first appearance in the Beef "O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl. The Golden Eagles will face an opponent from the Big East, still to be determined.

This will be the ninth consecutive bowl appearance and 13th in the past 14 years by the Golden Eagles, who have played in the New Orleans Bowl in four of the past six seasons.

Southern Miss started the season 4-1, including an upset of Kansas, but lost three of its final seven games. The three losses were by a total of eight points -- one-point losses each to East Carolina and UAB and a six-point loss to Tulsa.
