Yes because teams were pulling their punches in 1989-90 because they were so bad that many teams could have 20-30 more points if they had wanted to. SMU's Top 10 Offense keeps all the 2017 games relatively close and so the opponent's starters have played just about the entire game. In 1989-90 they were resting starters in 2nd Q


In 89, many of our opponents essentially stopped trying to score (Houston was a notable exception) and/or played everyone on thier roster.
