Conference USA runners up, and Western Division title holders, Southern Mississippi will head to Dallas for the Zaxby's Heart Of Dallas Bowl on Dec. 26 for a 2:20 p.m. eastern kickoff.
Southern Miss strung together a six-game win streak to help win the West before falling to Western Kentucky on Championship Saturday, but the Golden Eagles can still finish 2015 with 10 wins, which would be just awesome.
The Huskies come to Dallas with a 6-6 mark, but have won two games in a row and have a stingy defense, ranking 12th in the country at just 17.8 points per game. Nick Mullens and company will have their work cut out for them.
