UAB Predictions

[SMU 86]

UAB 21.5
SMU 10

[MidlandMustang]

Shawnbrey "The Ocho" McNeal plays RB, C, DB, DE, QB, WR and placekicker, and SMU wins 72-0.

Barring these cloning procedures and position changes, I think we lose it in the 4th, Mustang Style. UAB 37-27

Well, I'm not sure he has to kick because it appears we've got a pretty good kicker right now. Probably could use him in other areas as you stated. Anyway, I believe that if we can somewhat contain Mr. Webb then we'll have a chance. However, if we have several starters out with the flu it could be a long night.

Thanks! And that was an actual pick, no "pony colored glasses", in fact my ponyfan "gut" pick was for us to get drilled. It goes back to my "I hate to sound optimistic" thread from last week. I got to watch that first game as not a fan but as part of a job. The fact was BLM was terrible against SFA, he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. He looked nothing like the BLM I had seen in practice, and I couldn't point to him being flustered by a dominating pass rush, him not getting it away quickly enough, a stiffing secondary... he was just flat off.

This is why teams schedule opponents of a perceived lesser quality. You can play like dung and still pull out a win. Going in to week 2 everyone knew that they could play better, a lot better -- but you add to it that they were actually coming off a win (and not a "here we go again" soul-crusher), I just thought the ponies could put together another one.
