[EAGLE83]

BYU beats smu

Does this hurt their playoff chances?

No more than just being SMU

18-15. Wow high scoring game. 

[3_n_out]

Both offenses were terrible to watch

[Moobs]

And it happened in front of all 12 SMU fans in Dallas too. 🤣

[golfingomez]

if it helps... Duke/Northwestern seem to have equally as bad offenses on display

[Matt from A700]

BYU had a good showing in Dallas.

SMU is lucky all the ACC teams coming to Dallas this year are red and blue so their fans can blend in together. If the game's on mute, an idiot might think it's a stadium full of SMU fans.

The only ACC game with opposing fans that will stick out is Cal's blue. But they won't bring many fans.

But I thought BYU couldn’t handle their offense.

$mut boosters:  "How much would we need to offer to pay for a playoff $pot?"

Whatever it is, they’d pay it…

must be nice.

Can we please stop obsessing over SMU? We aren’t even conference mates after the single season we spent with them and we won’t be playing them anytime in the foreseeable future. They mean absolutely nothing to us as a program. Why oh why does their name continuously come up on this site??

[WanderingEagle]

SMU is winless against P3 teams as a member of a P4 conference. 

[Sig381]

I saw a rumor that they fired their head coach. 

[Big Z]

SMU sucks

[MeanGreen22]

Speaking honestly, SMU could have been a god among G5 schools but choose to be just another P4 school. Oh well.

They paid to swim with the sharks. 

I hope they get Eaten!

At least they get some of that money back from the ACC’s tv deal.

I saw it too but it looks like that rumor fizzled quickly.

Aaaaaaaaand, another SMU thread? On a serious note, their offense has been so erratic, Preston Stone has been benched. UNT should keep an eye out for him in the portal, he's too good to sit on the bench. I watched most of that game as well, they turn the ball over 3 times inside the BYU 5 yard line and only lose by 3 points. SMU's defense is really good again.

I didn't see anything that could be labeled an offense out of SMU.  It was, however, offensive.

You should look to pick up Preston Stone in the portal for next year

His replacement, Jennings, RS-Fr, is more of a dual threat QB.  
He will need to be a runner…to escape the onslaught of future opponent defenses! Not looking good for the P4 start 👀

Nice quote, but mostly wrong. 

How can the nearest D1 football team to Denton, mean nothing to NT?

The two schools compete for fans, recruits and media coverage.

We also compete with TCU for all of those things, but I don’t see TCUs name perpetually appearing on our forums. The SMU obsession runs deep around here.
