Prairie View Panthers to play Southern Mississippi in 2010 Football

Prairie View A&M University Panthers are scheduled to face University of Southern Mississippi on Sept. 11, 2010, is the first meeting between the 2009 SWAC champions and the C-USA Golden Eagles.

Southern Miss’ 2010 football schedule includes both 2009 Conference USA championship game participants from a year ago, the Southwestern Athletic Conference champion and a BCS automatic-qualifying conference school for the second consecutive year. Although C-USA does not release its game dates for another month for league contests, the Golden Eagles will play both East Carolina and Houston, the C-USA East and West Division champions from last season, as well as fellow league foes Marshall and UAB at Roberts Stadium.

Non-conference home dates include Prairie View A&M on Sept. 11 and Big 12 foe Kansas on Sept. 18. USM will play road games at South Carolina, Louisiana Tech, UCF, Memphis, Tulane and Tulsa. “This is another extremely challenging schedule for Coach Fedora, his staff and players,” said Southern Miss Director of Athletics Richard Giannini. “We are excited about having both teams that played in the C-USA championship game in 2009 here during the upcoming season, as well as bringing in both Prairie View A&M and Kansas for the first time. This is the second straight year we have been able to bring in a team from a BCS automatic-qualifying conference to Hattiesburg.”
