Official: SMU vs Memphis Predictions

[82Pony]

Now only 35% chance of rain to start the game rising to 60% at noon and 80% at 1:00 PM. Wind 20 mph throughout. Passing game will be affected. We need to have the running game going.

[OLEJACKETFAN]

GREAT! Probably affects both QBs about the same. Our guy cant kick wind or no wind. Should create more issues for their kicker! Got to get on them quick & early!

[RebStang]

Dumb question: What section(s) did we get for the game tomorrow? About to buy a ticket and want to at least be close to our section so it's easier to just move over once it's clear that there's plenty of seats available.

I predict the winners will be the people who eat at the Memphis rib haven, "Charles Vergos' Rendezvou". Owned by a SMU grad.

Didn't realize anyone in the Vergos family had gone to SMU. Last time I was there Jonathan Wilfong was walking in right behind me.

I smell an upset in the works.

[Stallion]

Tough one to call with injury situation cloudy and forecast rainy. I think some of the SMU kids who are questionable won't play--Morris playing possum as usual with injuries. Too many question marks on the backend for me to pick the Mustangs

Memphis 44
SMU 31

Be interesting to see if SMU can get up for a 3rd tough game on the road. But Navy picked itself up after 3 straight losses. Interested to see how this team responds though-a big challenge to the Culture. If its raining SMU still has a decent run and short passing game and crowd won't be much of a factor. I also like the potential a strong 6-4 WR in the rain too. If its a reasonably dry ball but wet field SMU should not be affected too much. The amount of predicted hourly rain is not huge-only .11 during game time. I'm more worried about Hicks throwing a wet, heavy ball

I keep trying to convince myself we can hang with them, but I just see our defense constantly biting [deleted] stuff like play action once we get behind the chains.

Looks like definite rain and wind.

[ALEX LIFESON]

When we have the 25 mile an hour wind gust behind us, we may actually get some kicks Deep In The End Zone. LOL

[mrydel]

Might get lucky rain wise. Wind may be a factor.

Looks like I was way too optimistic, and thinking we would hold Memphis to 48 points in my prediction.

[BUS]

Thats what no d gets you.
Fire malone now.

I thought we would lose to UCF, Navy and Memphis, and i feared we might get crushed. Losing sucks, but i don't understand why people are freaking out about losses to two ranked teams and an option team.

Beat Tulane.

Because UCF could have been won if not for mental errors especially the offense (fumble into the end zone & 3 critical dropped passes). Navy, we only played 1 half against them. Had we just kept neutral to them in the first half, we would have won by 2-3 TDs. Memphis I knew was a pretty much a loss but I thought we wouldnΓÇÖt give up 60+ pts. My goodness what a joke. ThatΓÇÖs why people including me have been extremely critical. ItΓÇÖs absolutely not about what the stats say. We get we were ΓÇ£supposeΓÇ¥ to lose. ItΓÇÖs that when we were are in play that we blow away chances to come up with the upset because we typically SMU choke away big games except Houston last year and TCU in 2011.
