On SMU:
"This week is certainly going to be a challenge with SMU coming into town. Sonny (Dykes) has done a great job building that program from where it was when he took over about three years ago. You look right now and he has his best team since he's been there. They've added some really talented transfers on this team and they are a very senior-laden team right now on both offense and defense. They return about 19 starters out of their top 22 from a year ago. They played 10 games and were 7-3 last year. They've added a transfer quarterback from Oklahoma that's playing really well with his arm and with his feet. They've got all five of their offensive linemen are back. Three of them are all-conference players. Their tailback last week rushed for 141 yards on 10 carries. He averaged 14 yards a carry against North Texas. He's a very explosive running back with a really solid, big, senior-laden upfront. They're running the ball really, really efficiently. The quarterback threw for over 300 yards. They have a first team all-conference wide receiver. They have a transfer from Oklahoma who was all-Big 12 as a tight end who is a big target for them. He has three touchdown catches through two games. They're averaging 45 points right now through tow games. They're a very explosive offensive football team. You can see coach Dykes handprint all over it and what they're doing offensively has really been impressive.

"Defensively, they're every bit as impressive. They're averaging 45 points a game. On defense, they're only giving up 10. They hired Jim Leavitt as their defensive coordinator from FAU who was a head coach at South Florida. He was very successful with the 49ers. Was a coordinator at Oregon, Colorado, FAU. They're playing really hard for coach Leavitt. The defense is not really complicated with what they do, but they lineup and they play it and they're really physical at their game."

Listening to coach speak from both Skip and Sonny it appears both teams could get embarrassed Saturday if they don't bring their "A" games. I do expect a close game in Ruston
