UAB wins. As I said before, more proof that SMU can pull off the upset. SMU students should be telling the players on campus tomorrow to beat Houston. SMU can beat Houston. All the pressure is on Houston to perform. They are the ones who have to perform. SMU has nothing to lose and should certainly play that way. Rally around your team Ponies and they will do well by you.

SMU will beat Houston.

Actually that isn't proof at all that SMU can upset Houston. Houston beat down that same UAB team by 43 points.

Boo This Man. An unranked team upsets another ranked team is an example that SMU can do the same. Houston is not the Chicago Bears, they aren't even Boise State. They are a decent football team that has not yet played a single top 50 defense. Not one. They are untested and unproven. SMU needs to test them and find out if they actually are a good team. How do you know that Keenum will hold up under pressure? He might get injured or have a bad day or simply not live up to the hype. How do you know the rest of their team will play well? They are wanting to look good and pretty in front of ESPN. They don't want to fight. They don't want to work. They want to look pretty. SMU needs to draw them into a fight and make the game ugly and make them sweat. Then, we will find out if Houston really is a good team. If SMU could beat TCU at TCU, they can beat Houston at Houston.

SMU will beat Houston. Tell the players. Tell the fans. Take Care Of Business.

I think you have SMU confused with a competent, driven football team. Have you watched any of our games since TCU (lucky sucker punch against a young team). Case Keenum has been playing at Houston since Eisenhower was President and he has never lost a game at home, we're not going to be the team to take them down. Place your bets on Tulsa, they can get it done.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

SMU will beat Houston. SMU is going to win. Keenum's record at home is not much of a record. The best team he beat at home was Texas Tech who should have won that game but were too proud to kick a field and instead tried to score on a 4th down inside the 5. Also, that Tech team also had no defense so even then he did not go against a good defensive team. The Houston Cougars are paper tigers. They do not want to fight. They do not want to battle. If SMU takes the battle to them and plays with nothing to lose, they will win.

SMU will beat Houston. SMU is gonna win.

Some y'all are sore losers. I will call each of you out if we pull this off.

Hope you're right in spite of my feelings toward the current administration.

You have no idea how much I want that happen.

Some of you guys still don't believe. So I will have to send you some videos to help you understand.

SMU is gonna win. We're gonna win.

Your confidence in SMU is puzzling but it's a good thing that someone believes in them. Still think you're greatly underestimating Houston, they've been in a few battles this season most notably the La Tech game (came back from down 34-7 in the late 3rd to win 35-34) so they certainly don't roll over when threatened. This SMU team doesn't take the fight to opponents and they play like nothing is on the line (college football's version of the Walking Dead).

You still aren't getting it. SMU is going to show you how great they can be. SMU will beat Houston.

ECU would have the #40 defense if they hadn't played UH.
ECU vs other 9 teams on schedule: 354 yards per game
ECU vs UH: 572 yards.
UH added 22 YPG to their season average which is why they are at 58 instead of 40.

BTW: the ECU schedule includes the current #8, #12, & #20 BCS team (although USM will obviously drop out after tonight). Even with those 3 teams, they would have the #40 defense, except they played UH.


AND If anyone wants to say UH defense is horrible, you might want to decide that based on something besides yardage. While SMU is 2nd in the conference in "Total Defense" with UH 5th, you should note that UH is slightly ahead of SMU in the most important defensive stat, scoring defense.

In other words, my statement is correct. Even making your distinction above is a joke. The point is that Houston has yet to play a good defense not whether or not there has been a team that actually might be a Top 40 or Top 50 or Top 60 defense. Face the facts: Houston is untested and has put up points against tomato cans. So I am going to let you in on a little secret: SMU is going to test Houston and SMU is gonna win.

It will depend on which SMU team shows up- the team with fire in their belly that pounded TCU or the zombie team which we have seen recently. No fire, no guts, no victory.

GO PONIES!!!

Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that is what SMU has here. Also, I am so tired of hearing about how great a team Houston has. Screw em. Beat Houston.
