re: Has any college football program fallen harder than Southern Miss?

As many have noted Nebraska and/or Stanford appear to be the answer. But if we’re talking mid majors I’d toss ECU out there. ECU had a stretch where they were arguably the best non P5 or 6 team out there but they fell on hard times for about a decade. They had a couple of solid seasons the last 2 years but are off to a rough spot.

I swear there were a few years there where they were always knocking off VT, UVA, UNC, NC State.. or threatening to do so. They’re position has basically be usurped by App St.
