Surprised the line isn't bigger, but I guess we must be getting some credit for blowing them out last year.

Last year, no one knew WHICH ASU team was going to show up on a game day. Hopefully, the other team will be playing on Saturday. I wish we could've had the team you have this year, last year! You'll receive a warm welcome in Jonesboro this Saturday.

I never realized how many people at SMU are from Arkansas.

Obviously based on the fact that they don't have "movin' pictures" in that neck of the woods yet. Once the telegraph reports of the forward pass make it up there, this line should increase.

We do have those little books where you flip the pages real fast and it looks like they are moving.

3.5 spread

The home team usually gets a 3 point advantage in the handicapping business. For the record, when ASU played Texas, QB Corey Leonard completed 22-of-36 passes for 259 yards and a pick for the Indians. If they could pass in Austin against the Horns, guess what they will do to the pony defensive secondary?

No doubt.

You never knew if you'd see the near flawless play like we had beating Troy, or the five turnover fiasco we somehow won against ULM.

Whats the over on this game because anything less than 70 points is a steal

They played in Arkansas.

Your point still stands.

I do not think so. My kids went to the game and they did not pass thru Little Rock. Nor do I believe UT would ever play in Jonesboro.

The fact that after 5 years of coaching here we are underdogs to Arkansas State is reason enough to fire Bennett.
