If Tulane let’s up in the 2nd half, 49-17. If not, ohmigosh!

Most surprising 1st half stat: Tulane has gained 203 yards and SMU 195. Does not reflect how lopsided this game has been

Rogers is a good kicker but he does not have 50 yard range and he's proved that the last couple of games. Hopefully he gets stronger because he's been really accurate short to mid range

Tanner has pretty consistently been at his worst in big games. Really disappointing. And Rice is really overhyped, too. I understand he's been playing hurt, but his hands are nothing special and I can't even keep p with how many drops he's had this year.

I totally agree. The best receivers in the country make the clutch plays most of the time. He makes them some of the time.

Tanner hasn't been great, obviously, but numbers are skewed by a ton of drops

You are right, Mordacai is Tom Brady V ACU, Mary Hardin Baylor, Lamar, but, big games, Ernie Swatrtxbaum. So fing hard to be a fan of this program.

Witness Proche and all the other great receivers we have had.

CP, I came here to post this very fact.

SMU Defense has found its rhythm (for them)

If we score 1st, ideally in our first possession, this game isn't over

Are we really surprised? When was the last time we looked even competitive on national tv? I think maybe the ‘83 Cotton Bowl. Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Arkpony]

We have to hold them to start the half

[Charleston Pony]

I bet the coach won’t change QBs for SMU. Same ole same ole will continue.

I think Jennings can still appear in 2 games and not burn his RS so if it goes from bad to worse in the 2nd half, I'd like to see him get some snaps before this game ends. Our guys need to chip away at this 21 point deficit in the 3rd quarter. Would love to see a miracle comeback and have our guys shut me up but right now they have me questioning why I bother contributing any support to this program. More and more it seems like an exercise in futility.

TM was nails against UH but it was televised on the mighty NFL Network.

Three turnovers to one. Some drops too, which aren’t on TM.

[Arkpony]

I share the excercise in futility feeling

[Charleston Pony]

Great job special teams. Way to set the tone for this 2nd half!

[Arkpony]

Seeing how the half has started I revise my prediction to 56-17
