SMU is as big of a question mark as we are. They’ve had some moral victories against good teams, but they also haven’t actually beaten anyone of note. Navy and Tulsa played them closer than expected, too. Our only common opponent was Navy, and our win there was much more convincing.
My fear is that if we do not bring more discipline to our game and continue our cascade of unsportsmanlike and holding/offsides penalties we will not only lose but not be competitive.
Tulsa just scored 34 on them and we are better than is Tulsa.
Cougars will beat the Ponies.

I expect a shoot out. However saw reports that the SMU QB has broken his collar bone. but don’t forget about the loss to a 3 string QB at Tulane. and who brought SMU the W against Tulsa…the third stringer…
I hate losing to SMU more than any other team we play on a regular basis. And I’m sick of losing them, too. Heck, I just don’t like SMU. I think we can score some points against them, but we have to play much better on defense or we’ll end up losing 37-33 or something.
With a win in Dallas, Holgy can pass coaching legends Herman and Applewhite and be the first since Tony Levine to have a winning record vs. SMU while coaching at UH.
