Frank Gore Jr. would not let his team lose.
The Southern Miss running back ran wild in his team’s victory over Rice in the LendingTree Bowl on Saturday night. In the 38-24 win, Gore set an all-time bowl record with 329 yards on just 21 carries.
Gore rushed for two touchdowns and also had an 18-yard touchdown pass. He scored from 64 yards out to put the Golden Eagles up 14-0 early in the second quarter and then he put the game away when he reeled off a 55-yard score with under three minutes to play. With that last touchdown, Gore surged to the top of the record books for an individual bowl performance. Previously, Appalachian State’s Camerun Peoples’ 317 yards in the 2020 Myrtle Beach Bowl was the all-time bowl game record for rushing yards. Now that record belongs to Gore.The Golden Eagles appeared to be in control when they took a 17-3 lead into halftime, Rice scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter in the span of just over six minutes.
From there, however, Southern Miss would score the game’s final 21 points. Gore’s 18-yard touchdown pass to Tiaquelin Mims tied the score at 24-24.
