What’s Going To Happen

SMU is already settled in with a bowl spot somewhere spiffy, but it can do something truly special for the program with a win for a ten-victory campaign.

Tulane is also bowl eligible, but it needs to reverse the trend in a bad second half of the season with four losses in the last five games.

The Green Wave offense has been terrific grinding out the ground game, but the team doesn’t control the time of possession well enough to take over games. But against SMU, can the pass defense hold up?

Sort of.

It has allowed 270 yards or more in in four of the last five games, with the one outlier the Navy game.

SMU’s offense struggled to get rolling against the Midshipmen in last week’s loss, but the passing attack has been unstoppable for stretches with 400 yards or more in three of the lats four games and over 200 yards against everyone.

At home, the Mustangs will keep the offensive production humming with a good balance and enough pop to force Tulane out of its comfort zone.
