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.

The SMU-Texas State game was going to be a shootout, and it wasn’t.
This one should be a blast.
The North Texas offense will keep pressing, the SMU offense won’t ever be able to rest, and both passing games will hit big play after big play. Expect well over 1,000 yards of total offense with SMU being a bit more effective when it has to be.
