I'm there with you, Peruna Punch. SMU absolutely WILL be the surprise team of the WAC this year. Up here, all I hear about is the OU Sooners. But last year, Oklahoma State beat the mighty Sooners. And OSU had mostly the same players they had the year before. What they added was a new head coach who instilled a sense of confidence and a new attitude. Sure, they're record was bad, but they believed for the first time in years that they can beat anyone, even OU. Coach Bennett will have the same affect on the Ponies this year. We have a veteran team this year, and with good QB coaching and our already-great defense, we're going to shock the conference. I'm not saying we'll win it, but I'm not saying we won't, either.
The bad news is that Oklahoma State has 8 starters back on each side of the ball. They might be the best team we face all year.
