Why SMU Will Win
The passing game was rusty in the 31-24 win over Texas State, but it should work just fine against the North Texas secondary.
Granted, Houston Baptist QB Bailey Zappe ripped up Texas Tech, too, but he warmed up in a 57-31 loss to North Texas with 480 passing yards and three touchdowns, having no problems getting time to throw with little pressure from the Mean Green defensive front.
