Southern Miss game in Provo now in November 2016

So that makes 2 home games for 2016. And the only open November date is November 5 (11/12 @ Cincinnati, 11/19 Southern Miss, 11/26 Utah State).Back in 2011, the BYU Cougars and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles signed an agreement for a home-and-home football series to be played in Provo in 2014 and in Hattiesburg in 2015.
But in November, Southern Miss announced their 2014 non-conference schedule, minus the BYU game, and stated that they will “push that game back to a later date.”
That later date is now 2016. Per a copy of an addendum to the contract, Southern Miss will travel to face BYU in Provo on November 19, 2016.
The addendum, obtained from the University of Southern Mississippi via an open records request, was signed by BYU Director of Athletics Tom Holmoe and USM Director of Athletics Bill McGillis last October. The contract still calls for a $1 million fee if either team cancels.
