Friday Night Big-12 Action. BYU @SMU ESPN2

[Central Floridave]

Hard to believe BYU is an underdog to SMU...but, that's why they play the games!!!

"Don’t look now, but BYU is a hefty 10.5-point underdog Friday night against also-undefeated SMU here in Big D, although the Cougars are 4-0 all-time against the Mustangs. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. MDT at intimate, 32,000-seat Gerald J. Ford Stadium, and the nonconference matchup will be televised by ESPN2."

Can double-digit underdog Cougars pull off another September surprise?​

They are ACC now and recruiting has been better.

Money talks...The boosters are willing to do whatever it takes

One excerpt: "the Boulevard Collective signed every football and basketball player to standard NIL deals of $36,000 annually"

So it's a Holy War! Methodists versus Mormons! 😆 I want the Big XII school to win.

will mostly watch Packers-Eagles

SMU should be a lot better than what they have shown so far this year, returning 16 starters for a team that won 9 straight last year and got ranked averaging 39 points a game, before losing to Castellanos in a bowl game.

I’m watching nfl as well. Next year the NFL will be on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week. The money for college guys pretending they are pros will dry up once the NFL takes all of the ratings.

NFL game is on peacock. I think my subscription is still good from the olympics. But, main watch is BYU.

7-0 byu. Early first quarter

 

[AuburnLegacy_1]

I think BYU has a chance because SMU has sloppy Arkansas oline seconds.

(No correlation to UCF intended.)

BYU 18 - SMU 15. Final.

I was wondering why smu was getting hyped. They sucked.

Game is in the 4th quarter, high scoring

I never got the SMU hype. It was funny how much love they were getting with a big jump up in competition. Like no one thought they would struggle with the move up to the ACC and the depth needed? The AAC was pathetically weak last year.

BYU beats SMU 18-15 to end high-scoring ACC newcomer Mustangs' 9-game win streak at home

Will Ferrin kicked a 26-yard field goal with 1:58 left after BYU had two big fourth-down runs as the Cougars beat SMU 18-15.

I don’t think BYU is great either.

 

[PositYourself]

Any win for the BIG12 against other P4, is a good one.

Now we just need OKST, Cincy, ASU and others to do the same today

 

[Central Floridave]

BYU defense was pretty good! They have speed and they are super aggressive. Will be an interesting matchup, BYU @UCF. Oct 26th. Probably gonna be a halloween dress up knight. Charge On!

 

[Central Floridave]

And, I bet on BYU for the upset. Won! I really never bought into the SMU hype. I watched the first quarter, then the 4th quarter. SMU attendance was horrible. Looked like a C-USA game.

When we played them in Orlando for CCG they had a good turnout. Mostly blue hairs. But quite a few.
