HATTIESBURG -- The Southern Miss football program will appear on television 10 times during the 2011 season, Conference USA recently announced.

The CBSSN broadcasts will include home games against SMU and UCF, while road games at Navy, UTEP and UAB will be featured by the network. The UAB game will be the lone non-Saturday game of the season, which will be played on Thurs., Nov. 17.

As for CSS, they will show four Conference USA contests, including home games with Rice and Memphis and road contests with Marshall and East Carolina.
