SMU is undefeated and a gigantic opportunity awaits with a trip to Cincinnati in November, but distractions and hurdles have surrounded the Mustangs.
Coach Sonny Dykes is a hot candidate for the sudden job opening at Texas Tech, where his late father, Spike, is a Red Raiders legend after leading the football program for 14 season from 1986 through 1999. The noise can be distracting to a team, particularly one with championship dreams like the Mustangs, who travel to Houston this week as a slight underdog.
SMU has an outside shot to reach the playoff if it wins every game and knocks off Cincy on the road Nov. 20, and this trip to Houston is the biggest hurdle before that showdown.
Even with the Astros game competing, surprised to see that sales are terrible....should easily be able to sit behind SMU bench. I can hear the SMU SMU SMU...chant now!
They’ve been so good over the last decade or so. I do think we are the better team today, but let’s see how we match up against this stout defense. I’m ready!
Yep, imagine if the Rangers were playing at the same time as an SMU night game. Plus Halloween parties. Should be a decent number of students. Believe over 5000 have picked up tickets.
I'm helping my kid work on college apps or I'd drive down. He can't be persuaded by concession food anymore.
Tune vs. Mordecai. RBs: Bentley, Levine and Siggers vs. McCaskill, Henry and Car. Will UH defense get sacks? They average four per game. SMU gets two per game but has only allowed TWO all year.
