Yes, Thursday night's loss to UAB hurts, but the biggest loss from the game may be Austin Davis. There are several rumors floating around Hattiesburg and internet message boards that AD may be out with a season-ending ankle injury.
If the rumors are true, it would be devastating to the Southern Miss football squad. Davis has a great grasp of the offense and the players look to him for leadership and direction. The injury would put red shirt senior Martevious Young or true frosh Chris Campbell in charge of the offense. Young has seen limited action in is time in Hattiesburg and Campbell is just getting his feet wet with Fedora/Wyatt's offense. Its time for one or both of these young men to step up and play.
