[QUOTE="LVH, post: 3054784, member: 71239"] I actually watched SMU's games vs. University of North Texas and LA Tech and came away uninspired. Not an impressive team - they have taken a step back from 2019 for sure. They beat University of North Texas because ultimately their talent advantage came into play in the 4th quarter but University of North Texas is a bad team as evidenced by their blowout loss to UAB last week. Louisiana Tech looked like the better team in some areas and just couldn't finish the game. One thing that stands out is SMU isn't a physical team on the defensive side of the ball. I know this is a cliche but I actually think we can get an easy win if we just line up and run it down their throats with Evans/Miller similar to how we wore down Cal. Establish the run and then look to pass when SMU comes into overcompensate. If we go in there trying to throw the ball around that play's into SMU's hands. It's SMU so they will no doubt receive if they win the toss and run trick plays to get an early score and put the pressure on us. In the last 3 matchups in Fort Worth SMU has scored first and its almost always a TD drive aided by a trick play. If we can withstand the initial flurry from their first scripted drive or two and not panic this should be an easy win. This is what doomed us in 2019 compared to 2015 or 2017, in 2015/2017 we had senior QB leading the offense and didn't panic in response to the early SMU score. [/QUOTE]
