Previous posters discuss covering the line for the UTEP game.

This question is not meant to stir up anything, but I am curious. Can someone tell us how often JJ's SMU teams have covered the line up to now?

[NickSMU17]

I would say around 500...vegas is spot on....

SMU 38 utep 7

When's the last time we covered against Utep?

We have a better chance of getting a hange on that big rock in their endzone.

Well, that's an unfair statement because the odds snagging a hange on the big rock is 100%. It's El Paso.

true. true.

What are the Vegas odds on us perfecting the onside kick this year?

[ponyte]

We have one less day to prepare. We just got hammered. We have a QB issue. Our D and O have yet to perform close to expectations. For a veteran team we have some unsettled issues. I say a 4 point spread is more like it. Hunt blocks an extra point and field goal.

UTEP owned us last year and their kids will remember it. They will see the a$m film and figure they have a very real chance of pounding us as well. That and our recent history is to play down to our competition Key game but we have to make vast improvements

Good analysis.

if utep thinks they are tamu they are delusional.

Even though UTEP lost Vittatoe, I am staying away from this line.

i don't recall seeing us on the minus side of a 20 point line EVER

[Comet]

It's hard for me to have that much faith on the line. I remember last year thinking we would be able to at least beat UTEP (I thought by at least 10 points). However, we got crushed...

[Stallion]

you realize UTEP has 1 returning offensive starter-I think they only have 5 returning defensive starters-this was pretty much expected to be a BAD TEAM this year
