SMU Mustangs over North Texas Mean Green: On the surface spotting any points with a team that went 1-11 last year seems ludicrous. However as is usually the case a deeper look gets us value. SMU returns 16 starts and they will be better than last year. New coach new system they still have the speed on offense but the June Jones run and gun is gone. In their first game at home as a 36 point dog they barely covered against Baylor losing 56-21. Most importantly they actually did play well especially in the first half.

Now they take a big step down with N Texas who will play their 1st game of the year. Two years ago they went 9-4 but last year 4-8 and this year will also be a struggle bringing back only 12 starters. Lastly although revenge generally is overrated it is an issue tonight. Last year N Texas at home beat SMU embarrassing them 43-6 leading to the resignation of the coach Jones.
