OFFICIAL: SMU-TULANE CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTIONS & ROLL CALL

[ALEX LIFESON]

Mustangs went 8-0 in AAC play, to set up the Championship showdown with the Green Wave. SMU is #25 Tulane #17. Mustangs were blown out at Yulman Stadium last year, but this is a different SMU team. Ponies get the big stage on ABC at 3:00 pm. Stangs will be without Preston Stone, as Kevin Jennings makes his first start, in a Yuuuuuuuuge game. What's your prediction Mustang fans and who is going, to see your Ponies in a Championship game in New Orleans?

This feels like a lower scoring outcome, with both defenses coming up w/ big stops. It's gonna be close and very entertaining.

we will win by 2 tds if our D and pass D and stop pratt. if not, and if KJ is not ready for the task we will lose by 2.
Really hope our D is on fire. We need this game for recruiting top players.
Interesting chess match between willie fritz and RL.

SMU 35
Tulane 21

Defense carries us and the offense does enough to comfortably win.

I predict that I will have a hurricane hangover Sunday morning. But hopefully because I've over-celebrated (and have a 5:50am flight back to BigD).

[EastStang]

We’re opposite UGA vs. AL. So ratings will be low.

[SMU404]

Unfortunately I think the PS injury will really hurt and tulane will tire us out in the end. 17-38 Tulane.

[35straight II]

34-24 SMU

I am driving up Saturday morning for an SMU win 24-20. Aside from the blowout last year, our games have been very close and while I would like to win comfortably, expect a tight game throughout. As long as we take the trophy back to Dallas and land a NY6 invitation I will be very happy.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Tulane just released a bunch of tickets, including midfield, behind our bench.

Checking for any signs of life here.....2 days away from the Championship game and this place is a cemetery.

Agreed the page is pretty dead for the biggest game in decades. It looks like smoo will have a VERY nice group of loud fans on hand along with pom-cheer-band. This will be a dogfight, and Rhett will pull out all the stops. D MUST come up huge esp against the run. If defense does their job, it feels like we have the ability outsccore them with talent and depth.

Can't wait to pull up a chair at bar in Santa Fe to see what happens.

our D will really need to step up their game. This should be an interesting chess match between fritz and RL. I suspect fritz will try to really pressure KJ and get him frustrated. Do not think that will work. dude is cool and collected. Our D must stop Pratt. I think our extra depth will help late in the game.
Just win baby! bring back the metal.
