Kevin Jennings just broke SMU's all-time passing record, Yamir Knight has 345 yards receiving, and the Mustangs are at home in a conference game. BC is averaging under 20 points a game. This one is not close, people.
SMU beat BC 45-13 last year, and the Mustangs are ranked and at home again. I trust what I've seen from this program. Jennings is playing the best football of his career right now.
Nobody wants you to know this, but SMU slid from 16 to 22 after that Louisville loss and BC just hung tough with Virginia Tech in extreme conditions. Mason McKenzie ran for a career-high 138 yards last week. I'm taking the Eagles.
Drew, Mason McKenzie also has four interceptions on the year and BC is 0-1 in conference play. Defense travels, son, and SMU's offense is not going anywhere.
@bigdaddy You said USC was the pick last week and Oregon walked out of there with a 41-27 win. Maybe sit this lecture out.
One bad week and the circus comes to town. I'm still 10-4 on the season, same as the rest of the desk except one.
For the record, @drew is 6-8 on the season and has lost two straight. BC's offense is scoring 19.8 points per game and McKenzie has thrown four picks. The matchup points one direction and it is not toward an upset.
Kendrick Raphael has 373 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground for SMU. BC is going to have to stop the run AND Kevin Jennings through the air. Good luck with that.
@dtownz All I know is the whole desk picked Penn State last week and Wisconsin walked out with the win. When everybody agrees, that is when I start looking the other way.
@drew I respect the fire, but SMU is at home, ranked, and just put up 34 on a team that gave BC all it could handle. These kids in Dallas are for real this year.
The one thing I will grant @drew is that BC kept Virginia Tech to a one-score game in rough conditions, so they are not completely helpless. But SMU's offense at home is a different animal entirely.
SMU 28, BC 24. Write it down. The Mustangs will need every point they can get and the Eagles are going to make this interesting in Dallas.
