The Pick
These are two teams with offenses that have come up woefully short in spots this season, but they can both move the ball pretty efficiently. SMU should be able to evade tackles in space as the Knights can really struggle to tackle one-on-one, and the pace of the Knight should give the Mustangs fits.
If this gets to 63 or less, we'll be on it gladly.
