(AP) Mired in an 18-game losing streak, Southern Mississippi is making a change at quarterback. The Golden Eagles (0-6, 0-2) will start freshman Nick Mullens against North Texas (4-3, 2-1 Conference USA) on Saturday when the two teams meet at Roberts Stadium.

He completed 9 of 17 passes for 97 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
