Southern Miss football will have a lot of new faces to start the 2026 season.
The Golden Eagles host Alcorn State (1-0) on Sept. 5 (4 p.m. CT, ESPN+) at Renasant Stadium.
The Golden Eagles finished 7-6 in 2025, but most of the team's contributors from last year are gone. Coach Blake Anderson and his staff spent the offseason adding over 70 new scholarship players to the team, so Week 1 will give fans their first look at the revamped roster.
Southern Miss has opened the season against an FCS opponent nine times since the subdivision was established in 1978 and has a perfect record in those games. The program's most recent season opener against an FCS school was against Alcorn State in 2023, a game it won 40-14.
The Hattiesburg American will provide updates from the game. Follow along.
