Pony NATE-tion: Running game, pass rush key at Houston

[PonyPride]

The Mustangs are the third-leading scoring FBS offense in the country, and our man Nate says that firepower — especially the three-headed rushing attack of Ke'Mon Freeman, Braeden West and Xavier Jones — is crucial when they face the Houston Cougars on the road.

I think we will need to get to 40 to win this game. The question becomes, can our defense keep them under 40. Our defense needs to play focused and disciplined. We also will need to win the turnover battle big time. We don't do well against running QBs but if we can contain Postma and limit the big plays down the field, I like our chances.

If we play focused and disciplined with tons of passion and intensity, we win 42-35 type game.

Nice to see Pony NATE finally man up and pick the key upset!!!

While hiding behind this computer, I can admit that this guy's predictions have been a lot closer than mine.
If he likes SMU's chances Saturday, that makes me more optimistic.
Go Ponies!
