Deandre Brown, Damion Fletcher and Johdrick Morris will not make the trip to Birmingham for Thursday night's Southern Miss - UAB game. The offense may not hang 70 points on the Blazers like last year, but there should still be a solid effort from the likes of running backs VJ Floyd, Desmond Johnson, Tracey Lampley and wide receiver Quentin Pierce. Even with UAB looking to rebound from last year's 70-14 loss, Southern Miss still wins.
Larry Fedora also confirmed that junior college transfer Justin Jordan is no longer with the team. Jordan was suspended indefinitely last week after a undisclosed violation of team rules. Many believe there were a handful of events that led to the suspension, but the icing on the cake was an altercation with another player and a coach on the sidelines during the Virginia game.
