This is the fifth game for SMU, losing only to TCU and #23 Baylor. They've covered three of four contests and SMU was competitive for a half against Baylor and again Saturday against TCU. Neither team scored a single touchdown during the first 30 minutes, with the Horned Frogs taking a 6-3 advantage into the intermission, even though they were a 22-point favorite. Temple has alternated losses and wins, including losing 28-13 to Army as a two-touchdown favorite. Temple's offense is ranked #60 in points scored, #107 in total yards, but the defense is allowing 20.5 points per game. When these teams met last season it was 45-40 late as SMU had 212 yards passing and ran for 185 yards, 4.9 yards per carry as a +14.5 dog. This season SMU is #54 in the nation on offense in yards, so grab the big dog in a defensive battle. Play SMU and the UNDER.
