well for the Hawaii--Bowl
Fresno -11 : SMU coach is getting back to hawaii, and he had some success when we talk about bowling, but Fresno st has been a huge turn around from ly to this one, and they will be playing with a chip on their shoulders, i dont think this will be a gimme, as nothing its, but SMU has some huge mismatched, fresno WR core, Pass-D, QB, even motivation , im not saying this will be a blow out, this might even be a game during the 1h, both teams are battle tested and faced stiff competition... so breaking down schedule..
SMU -- loss to baylor by a bunch and54-24 score is misleading as they scored 2 garbage tds in the 4th qrt when baylor was in vacation-get in scrubs mode, got completely destroyed by TAM,loss a close one vs TCU but i also remember this was tretch when TCU wasnt blowing anyone and won close games to garbage teams like kansas and virginia,loss to UCF that went to the conf title game....but here comes the problem... loss to FBS worst Tulane, Rice
... and im not convinced about the winning vs tulsa....tulsa was looking ahead for his conf championship game vs UCF as they had wrapped their division they didnt even try to play hard vs a lowly SMU team, the hurricanes didnt even care---- in all loses except vs TCU , SMU has been blown away...on the W side its less impressive .. over, so.miss,UTEP ...and of course there is the houston game , where houston had 4 turn overs that meant 28 pts, game plan went to the trash....
now breaking down fresno schedule
Opener vs the steam roller oregon ducks--got completely destroyed, fresno scored their pts vs ducks scrubs in 2nd h--- that are better than baylor scrubs....loss to tulsa early in the season, when tulsa wasnt looking ahead,loss to a very tough defensive but offensively challenged boise, and thats it .... on the w side... well they dont have impressive victories, they have expected victories over ... fbs worst...hawaii,colorado,col.st,new mex,wyoming, weber st.... good victories vs nevada, AF,aztecs ... but thats whats this is about, consistency ur not suppose to "show up" vs a great team and score garbage tds in the 4th qrt, and then lose to garbage teams ... ur suppossed to dominate ur schedule, play with a chip on ur shoulder .... SMU have to stop Fresno in every facet of the game, as they can throw and run, on the other hand SMU is a one dimensional team, with an average -poor qb and they would need to run the ball efficiently , fresno only problem is pass protection , but SMU doesnt rattle the qb, so if they adjusted this, this days, SMU will have a nightmare day vs fresno athletic and taller WR...i might be
....the whole game ... but its always better to put ur money on the better defensive team and the on the one that creates the mismatches
