May take over starting job Edwards is in contention to take over as the starting quarterback for the Golden Eagles, Sam Sklar of The Hattiesburg American reports

Impact Edwards could find himself as the Golden Eagles' starting quarterback after head coach Will Hall said he is "looking at all options" regarding the position. Starting quarterback Billy Wiles was benched last week in favor of Edwards, but Edwards did not exactly make the most of his opportunity. He completed just five of his 15 attempts for 41 yards and an interceptions in the blowout loss. Nothing is set in stone, but it would not be surprising to see Edwards get a chance to start soon given the offense's recent struggles.

Impact Edwards stepped in for starter Billy Wiles after Wiles led three drives that combined for just 16 yards. However, Edwards didn't fare much better, tallying 41 yards and a pick while completing just 33 percent of his attempts. While Edwards appears to have a chance at usurping Wiles as the Southern Miss starter, the team's lack of offensive talent and consistency will likely keep both QBs out of fantasy conversations.
