SMU/ Fresno State Under 60: Both teams have high scoring offenses, yet the OU line is still at just 60 and has come down from it's opening number of 60.5. That's because these teams can play some defense. The Fresno State Bulldogs come in ranked 19th in total defense and 4th vs the pass, while allowing just 22.8 ppg (28th). They can be run on some, allowing 172.3 ppg (76th) and I feel that the Mustangs will use their run game a bit more to keep that high powered Fresno offense on the sidelines. Overall SMU gains just 5.2 yards per play, while the Bulldogs allow just 4.7 ypp. Should be a total ball control game by SMU in this one, which should eat clock. The Fresno offense is very good and they are a pass happy bunch going up against a weak SMU pass defense, but the Mustangs also know how to create turnovers 3rd Nationally), which could slow down an FSU drive or two. Back in 2009 SMU has similar defensive numbers as they allowed just 3 yards per game more this year than that year and they were facing a Nevada squad that was averaging 38 pgg, yet they held the Wolf Pack to just 10 points in that game. Give June Jones extra prep time and he will come up with a good defensive plan to slow any offense down. He will do so here as well. I look for this game to be played in the low 50's at best.
