Early line SMU +28

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Sun Sep 27, 2009 9:01 pm

Well, the line is out. I actually expected something closer than this. I guess they have BLM down for four picks for TD's. Sadly, he may throw more.

Actually, I am happy that TCU won at Clemson in a hard fought, very physical game. I didnt want TCU to get beat and then play them. I am pleased they are ranked 10th, gives us something to measure against. Dalton is very seasoned, he throws to 8-10 different guys and has 3 RB's he can rely on. I know their D is spectacular but it looks like on O they spread it around quite a bit,just kinda of a grind it out type of offense, then let the D bring back the heads.

a 28 point dog to our cross town rival? sad no matter how you slice it. I guess the oddsmakers are clearly saying we haven't played anybody with a pulse yet.

On the contrary, only being 28 point dogs to the number 10 team in the country is showing more respect to us than we probably deserve.

Y'all remember what happened last time TCU beat a good team (OU) the week before facing us?

No picks by BLM for SMU to have a chance. Line is about right otherwise.

I think the game is going to be a lot closer than a 28 point spread. TCU does not have what you would consider to be a high powered offense and I just think it being a rivalry and all we are going to see a closer game. TCU by 13.

I feel good about being able to cover this one. Winning is not going to happen but 4 TD's?? I think we can make it more of a game than that.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Seems a little high to me. I was thinking 21 pts or so. Tough loss at Wazzu - sure wish you guys had held on and were coming in 3-0.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
