OFFICIAL: SMU vs NTS Predictions

http://www.ponyfans.com/phpBB3/styles/we_clearblue/imageset/icon_post_target.gifby ALEX LIFESON » Sun Aug 28, 2022 12:36 pm

Normally do the official prediction thread on Monday, but since North Texas State has already played a game, let's do this a day early. Watching their game last night, they looked better than last year, taking a seven win UTEP team to the woodshed, in front of a big home crowd. They were also missing a couple of starting receivers and one of their top defenders..... but guess what, all are expected back for the SMU game. Could be a tough one in Denton. You know the old saying, teams improve the most, from week one to week two.

They have more predicting the game than will make the trip to Denton.

I am not sure they have the talent advantage they think.  

NT has some distinct advantages:  home game, having played a game, and a lot more to prove.

They definitely have the talent advantage. Not taking away from the UNT advantages you listed, but to say that SMU doesn't have the talent advantage just isn't true.

Prediction: game switched to CFL rules, UNT takes it 1-0 off a Rouge point

Even bolder prediction: The game is switched to FIFA rules, and North Texas wins 5-4 on penalty kicks

Not disputing SMU has a talent advantage, just stated it may not be as substantial as they think.

Aune just hit 26 career TD passes this past Saturday. Mordecai had 39 last year alone. 9 times put of 10, the team with the better QB wins. Aune may have been named CUSA player of the week (really? With only 5 teams in action?) but this Saturday will demand a substantially greater level of QB play if we want to win.

On paper SMU should take us to the woodshed. However on paper a bumblebee can't fly. If we can hang with the Ponies in the 1st half we have a chance to win. However if we are down 14+ its going to be a long night.

I sort of agree with you @wardly.  I think SMU will try to break our spirit early on and take the crowd out of the game.

I agree with both of you.  
We need 4 turnovers to keep it close up to the 4’th quarter then turn our own speedy skill people loose on the Mustangs.

I think it’s another close game. Last year was closer than the final score indicated.  Last year the team was trying to find its identity. That’s not the case this year. If we keep it close, we win.  Or we might blow them out of the water ala that June Jones year. Hahahhahahhahah!

So you think SMU is a better team than UTEP.  That is a news flash alright. 

The better team usually wins, who may or may not have the best QB.  

SMU is a big favorite for a reason, but most games are actually decided on the field not on fan forums.

If this is your response, why make several comments that SMU may not have as substantial of a talent advantage as some think? I brought up the most important talent advantage they have and you respond that the game will be decided on the field. Great debate.

Apparently you disagree, that usually a part of a debate.

I also stated that SMU is a big favorite for a reason, which you apparently agree with.

Again the best team usually wins, which may or maynot have the best QB, not sure how anyone can disagree with that.

I dont feel great about our chances, but some of you make it seem like we’re playing A&M and we’ll need every break to go our way. SMU ain’t that good. 

I don't know that we are either. It's hard to tell when you open against programs such as UTEP. We don't know how many receivers will be available which can make a big difference. I just don't think we can afford to get down early. Not to diminish last weeks win, but I wonder how we would have responded if in the 1st half UTEP had made their missed field goal, scored on our 10 yard line instead of turning the ball over because of an errant snap, and not dropped a sure touchdown pass .That's 17 points they left on the table which would of flipped the score. I know I am playing "what if", but we were lucky to get out of the first half with a 1 point lead. Just saying.....

Oh but we can play what ifs all day is what some are saying. You bring up some very valid unforced errors on the UTEP side that would have changed the game. We took over in the second half for sure but we got a lot of big breaks in the first half.

First time In a while they haven’t been overly confident…

PonyFans sucks anyway, dying forum board.

That’s true. The SMU 24/7 board seems much more active

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
