For the third time in six games, Wiles was held to fewer than 200 yards passing. He also failed to lead a single touchdown drive, with the Golden Eagles’ lone touchdown coming off a punt return in the first quarter. While Southern Miss has struggled to open up 2023, Wiles has frequently been thrust into a larger workload in negative game scripts.
