Houston -13 vs So. Miss

A ton riding on this one for the UNDEFEATED Cougars and all world QB Case Keenum.  Undefeated record and a big BCS Bowl Bid.  One BIG thing here, is home field advantage which is rare in Conference Championships. Only the PAC 12 has it this year.  While Southern Miss has some solid numbers for an underdog, their secondary is VERY suspect and at days end the record seting QB Keenum and the fast paced offense will simply overwhelm Southern Miss as the game goes into the late stages and I see Houston pulling away. 

What some do not realize is Houston's defense is good.  They rank 3rd in the antion in tackles for a loss, a they are also a ball hawking secondary.  I was looking at the dog here about a week ago, but I re-watched the butt kicking Houston handed Tulsa, at Tulsa, a game in which I took Houston, tyhere is no doubt they are the real deal and So. Miss is a paper tiger here.  AT HOME, Houston Rolls

Houston 48  So. Miss 24 - Lay the wood.
