Houston looked terrible today... So it's hard to read what that loss to Houston really means for SMU.

Trail starts.
Looking forward to being at the game. Always great to see the Bearcats play in HNS.
Their pass attack will shred our corners. Hopefully our offense improves with Trail and against a lesser D. I expect SMU wins, though.

If we play D like we did today - bend but don't break and no blown coverages I think we can hang around. I don't expect to win but a competitive game into the 4th qtr. would be a welcome change of pace.

I'm probably delusional, but I think this is the week UC turns it around and wins 4 of 5 down the stretch.

UC will keep it closer for a half. Then get blown out in second half.
36-14

He's getting tired of talking in the mirror. The mirror.

Tony Pike said yesterday on Mo's show the Bearcats could run the table... of course he also gave the caveat that he is a fan and alum. He also said they could lose most if not all of the remaining games. I think if the weather were inclement it would give the Bearcats an advantage... I'm not sure how this one will go. I hope the Bearcats can pull it out.

I like his optimism and it would certainly reset expectations for the program in a very positive way. Realistically, four or five wins, total, on the ledger by season's end would be progress.

I like our chances against SMU if we can establish the run. SMU have been very vulnerable on the ground this season. What's more, we need to chew up clock and keep SMU off the field as their QB and WRs will kill us (as par for the season).

Agree with this. The reality is that the remainder of our schedule is not loaded with supremely talented teams. SMU is further along in their rebuild and with an explosive offense will be a tough team to beat. Tulane, ECU and UConn have been a mess the last few years and are not talented clubs. Temple is clearly suffering from a loss of talent last year as well as a new coaching staff. This staff needs to rack up some wins to keep the fanbase feeling optimistic about the rebuild efforts here.

Don't sleep on Tulane. I don't like our match up with them at all. They run the option and have a very athletic QB who will probably run for 150+ yards on us since we can't protect the edges.
