Saturday, October 13
1:00 PM Southern Methodist at Tulane:
This is a
Conference USA meeting between the Southern Methodist Mustangs and the Tulane
Green Wave. SMU enters this game at 2-3 on the season but a perfect 1-0 in
Conference USA action. The Mustangs have a good passing game but have been
incredibly disappointing on the ground with preseason Conference USA running
back Zach Line only having 429 yards on the year. Line has averaged 1350 yards
per season in the two previous years at SMU. SMU is average on defense giving
up big points versus top competition while playing well versus the bottom teams
with 2 shutouts. Tulane enters this game at 0-5 on the season and is being
outscored by a staggering 33 points per game on the year. After 5 games, the
Green Wave have not even averaged 15 yards on the ground per game. This game
has all the ingredients to get very ugly very quickly. Tulane hold a 12-8
overall series lead over SMU but has lost the last three games to the Mustangs.
Expect more of the same ugly football from Tulane after being outscored 212-45
in the first 5 games of the season. SMU big to the tune of 48-7.
