Tulane Game Prediction Thread

[smu diamond m]

I'm with you, Billie Joe, in the sense that the Ponies need to win on the road (and hold serve at home, of course) .... although, to be fair, Marshall (we won that game, despite what the refs said), UAB and Houston -- all SMU wins -- were on the road last year.

But again, you're right. Ponies need to win this weekend!

However, we also didn't have a redshirt frosh on the field for those road games, in an emotionally charged atmosphere.

Have you ever played in a high school state championship game? Justin has...twice I think. Talk about emotionally charged.

The kid is fine. He knows what he's doing, quit setting him up to fail. He performs, and he can do it well when allowed to.

Aimed not at you PK, but JB

I saw Willis play at Ryan for 2 years. I WANT him on the field. The best quality you have in your QB is that he is a great competitor. One who will jump in the fox hole.

We haven't a QB of his caliber since Ramon Flanigan. And I think he can be better than Ramon.

Statistically we should win with the possibility that if Lester plays our secondary may be exopsed. Here is hoping the D-line will keep that from becoming a problem.

The real scarey part is the loose handle we have on the football. We have only lost 4 of 9 fumbles while our competition have lost 6 of only 7. Tulane has the same problem. They have had 9 fumbles also while only losing 3 of them. If this game gets sloppy, especially on our part, look out.

My guess is that we are maturing but it is an away game. Still, I think we will do it. SMU 31, Tulane 21.

Another interesting note, Tulane is 0-3 on field goals.

I have asked the magic eight-ball twice whether or not SMU will beat Tulane this weekend.....both times it said "probably not"
