Ok, well since nobody even picked UTEP as a winner, nobody won the PonyFans.com contest last week...

But here we go again...

Whoever can most accurately predict the final score, wins a free PonyFans.com golf shirt!

Best of luck

1 2 3 4 F
SMU 14 6 7 13 40
NCState 9 8 10 7 34


As you can see, it will be close all the way through. I think it will be an offensive game, but a costly interception by the young Wolfpack quarterback, which is returned for a touchdown by (gasp!) Brent Briggs will seal the deal.

Hey, I hoping the defensive backs can be heroes for at least one night. So, why not root for the underdog.

Yes, that's right: SMU 40, NC State 34.

Realistically I think that NC State has the advantage if we go to a shoot out. They have a more expolosive and quicker offense than the we do. So if it goes into a shoot out NC State will win hands downs. However I have enough faith in the coordinators to believe they have noticed that UTEP's ball control slowed our explosive offensive enough to prevent us from winning before time expired. So having faith in our Mustangs I feel we can control the ball enough to slow down NC State but mix things up enough to convert the third downs. So if SMU does a better job of utilizing the TEs and RBs early, enabling the wide outs (WRs) to get open easier I predict a Mustang win. A hard fought win.

SMU 28
NC State 24

MUSTANGS WIN

NC State is better than UTEP, but since we are the underdog, we are a little more prepared offensively...

NC State: 38
SMU: 31

Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist entering this little contest. So, here's my prediction:

How 'bout this one:

N.C. State 42
SMU 14

I hope its not a close game like we've had the last 2 weeks, but they have been exciting. Good luck to y'all, and here's hoping we see a good, injury free game on Saturday!

SMU - 31
NCSU - 17

NCSU QB throws 4 picks and proves he really is human. Its got to come some time. Let's hope Rushbrook (our freshman) and the boys are ready for some pick-ems.

You pony fans are something else. Leaving off the Wolfpack posts, four of you picked NCSU to win and three picked the Mustangs. We appreciate the respect and hope that we win, but more important that it is a good, hard fought, injury-free game. On our boards, we are so optimistic that almost everyone predicts a win regardless of who we play (well maybe not FSU? Clemson? GA Tech?). What the heck; good luck and Go Pack! Beat SMU!
