Virginia Tech defensive tackle DaShawn Crawford's 2020 debut lasted two snaps. Crawford spent fall camp dealing with a major knee strain, but didn't want to miss Tech's season opener against North Carolina State. He admitted that was a mistake when he spoke to the media for the first time this season on Tuesday. "I was trying to push myself more than I needed to push myself," Crawford said. "I was being hardheaded. The coaches said, you need to chill out, you need to chill out. But I was being hardheaded. I said, I can go, I can go. And then, got out there, had to come right out." He didn't return to the lineup until Week 4's game against Boston College, and Tech coaches have been careful with his workload. He played 12 snaps in the 40-14 win and 18 snaps in the loss to Wake Forest on Saturday. He still hasn't recorded any statistics this season. Crawford doesn't expect his number of reps will take a big jump this weekend at Louisville even with Jarrod Hewitt serving a first half suspension for targeting. Sophomore Norell Pollard has started alongside Hewitt this season with Josh Fuga, Mario Kendricks and Maxx Philpott rotating in off the bench. "I think it'll still be a gradual work up, because the guys in front of me, they worked the whole camp," Crawford said. "They grinded through the whole practices, they've been playing, so I can't just jump them because they've been doing work." - Roanoke Times

10/06/20 - Frank Gore Jr., rJr/2024, Southern Miss, 5-08, 198 (DS#21 RB) + More +

Frank Gore Jr., son of NFL All-Pro running back Frank Gore, had his first breakout game of his collegiate career for Southern Miss. He scored his first career touchdown on a 11-yard run Saturday night in the first quarter, and it only took being in the Golden Eagles' first road game at North Texas to do it. He also had over 100 all-purpose yards after three quarters. Gore Jr. broke the century mark on the ground in the fourth quarter and finished with 23 rushes for 130 yards and one touchdown in a 41-31 victory: Southern Miss' first win of the season. The program has been raving about Gore since he stepped on campus. He came into Southern Miss as their highest-rated prospect. The freshman running back came in with just 23 rush attempts for 78 yards on the season. The 18-year-old originally committed to Florida Atlantic but decommitted from the program once Lane Kiffin left for Ole Miss. - Hattiesburg American

Frank Gore Jr. ran for 130 yards, Jack Abraham threw for a pair of scores and Southern Mississippi beat North Texas 41-31 on Saturday night. Gore's 100-yard rushing game was the first for the Golden Eagles' since De'Michael Harris did it on Nov. 16, 2019. Abram threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Jones and Gore ran it in from 11 yards out to give Southern Mississippi a 14-3 lead in the game's first 4 1/2 minutes. The Mean Green's Tre Siggers capped an 80-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard scoring run with 1:54 before halftime. But Southern Mississippi (1-3, 1-1 Conference USA) drove 46 yards in 70 seconds, and Briggs Bourgeois kicked a 46-yard field goal to put the Golden Eagles up 20-10 at intermission. Mayberry's 4-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter stretched Southern Mississippi to its largest lead at 34-17. Austin Aune threw for 330 yards and two scores for North Texas (1-2, 0-1). - AP College Football

09/05/20 - Frank Gore Jr., rJr/2024, Southern Miss, 5-08, 198 (DS#21 RB) + More +

Southern Miss was one of the worst rushing teams in college football last year, averaging 117.5 yards per game. That ranked 121st out of 130 FBS squads. The Golden Eagles started off on an even worse pace Thursday night, rushing for just 95 yards on 37 carries. Freshman Frank Gore Jr. provided a little stability in his debut, leading the team with 32 yards on 12 attempts. But without a stable rushing attack Southern Miss' offense remains one-dimensional. - Clarion Ledger

Senior Tim Jones returns to lead the Golden Eagle receiving corps as he has increased his catch total in each of his first three seasons, going from five as a freshman to 42 as a sophomore and then 73 last fall. His 110 career catches leaves his 30 shy of the school's career top five as former running back Ito Smith collected 140 grabs from 2014-17 to hold fifth place. Jones collected at least five catches in nine games, including at least seven in each of the final four games last season. - Southern Mississippi Football

He also added a team-best six interceptions, which tied for the league lead. - Southern Mississippi Football

2020 PRESEASON PAUL HORNUNG AWARD WATCH LIST: Jaylond Adams, Southern Miss,...Adams became the first Southern Miss player to have a touchdown on both a kickoff and punt return in the same season since 2009 and marked the first time a Golden Eagle recorded two special team return touchdowns in the same game since James Henry accomplished that feat against UTEP in the 1988 Independence Bowl. Adams also holds the distinction of being the only Southern Miss player to return a kickoff and a punt for a score in the same game. In addition, Adams ranked third on the team in catches with 48 for 483 yards and two touchdowns. - Southern Miss Football

04/26/20 - *Quez Watkins, rJr/2020, Southern Miss, 6-0, 185 (DS#29 WR) + More +

One of the most exciting Group of Five wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft is off the board. Southern Miss wide receiver Quez Watkins was picked by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 200th pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday. The 6-foot and 185-pound receiver has blazing speed to go along with the impressive production that led him to first-team All-Conference USA selections in 2018 and 2019.

Watkins broke out for Southern Miss in 2018, catching 72 passes for 889 yards and nine touchdowns as well as one punt return touchdown. He continued that success in 2019, catching 63 passes for 1,145 yards and six touchdowns, leading the Conference USA in receiving yards and averaging 18.2 yards per reception. The Athens, Alabama native lit up the NFL Combine in February by running a 4.35-second 40-yard dash. Only first-round pick Henry Ruggs III ran faster among wide receivers than Watkins, who also logged a 36.5-inch vertical leap and a 125-inch broad jump. - Hattiesburg American

04/06/20 - Dylan Reda, rSr/2014, Southern Miss, 6-1, 238 (DS#78 ILB) + More +

Former Southern Miss football player Dylan Reda said he tested positive for COVID-19, confirming what he suspected when he was hospitalized last month. Over the course of several days in March, Reda said he experienced a fever, body aches and loss of taste. One day, he even coughed up blood, he said. He went to an emergency room where he lives in Florida on March 20 and was diagnosed with a severe case of pneumonia. He was also tested for the coronavirus. Nearly two weeks later, he officially learned the results.

Reda was only hospitalized for two days when he told the doctors he would like to go home in order for someone else to have a bed. When he was released from the hospital on March 21, doctors told Reda to practice social distancing. "Take this seriously," the 28-year-old said. "I feel like a lot of people my age might not feel invincible, but they might not feel they'll be affected by it as much as maybe their grandparents or their parents. If you have any symptoms at all, do what you're supposed to do." - Hattiesburg American
