SMU prediction: Will Mustangs beat UNT in a rivalry shootout?

[Harry]

North Texas at SMU

When: 6 p.m. Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium

Records: UNT (1-0); SMU (1-0)

Last meeting: SMU beat UNT 34-21 on Sept. 3, 2016

TV: ESPN3

What's on the line?

It's a rivalry game, so these two teams should expect a good energy in Ford Stadium on Saturday. SMU has been dominant in this series, winning 30 out of the 36 all-time meetings, including the two since Chad Morris took over the Mustangs.

But both teams look much improved from last year. A win for either will give some credibility to their non-conference records, unlike the last couple of seasons. In the end, though, it comes down to bragging rights for alumni throughout the Metroplex, like any good rivalry game.

UNT needs to win and forever bury the "haven't won at SMU since 1933" reference.  Tired of hearing that crap!
