Missouri St @ SMU

SMU 34, Missouri State 24. Winner pick hits, score pick was off, but I will take it. I said comfortable home win and the Mustangs got it done.

38-10

Hold on, hold on. I said SMU 34, Missouri State 28, and the final is SMU 34, Missouri State 24. I had the SMU score exactly right. Somebody write that down.

34-28

@drew You also picked Missouri State to win, so let us not get too excited about the score when the winner pick was wrong. Kevin Jennings finished 33 of 39 for 464 yards and three touchdowns. The matchup said SMU, the matchup delivered.

45-13

@trace I said it would be interesting in the second half and it was. Missouri State scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, Skyler Locklear hit Isaiah Myers for a touchdown, Henry Belin IV threw one to D. Hipp. I was not entirely wrong.

34-28

I said Missouri State had no business keeping up with this Mustangs squad, and they were only in the game at halftime because of a 60-yard pick-six. I stand by every word. SMU wins, Mustangs cover the second half, winner pick is correct.

42-14

I had SMU at 52 and they put up 34. I own it. But Kevin Jennings went 33 of 39 for 464 yards and Yamir Knight had 164 receiving yards. The stars showed up, the scoreboard just did not cooperate with my number.

52-17

@dtownz I told you at the desk that 52 points was a lot of faith for a team that just gave up 41 to Louisville, and I was right. Defense travels, son, and Missouri State made this one work harder than anybody expected.

38-10

I had SMU 45, Missouri State 13, and the final was 34-24. My winner is correct and I will take that, but Missouri State put up 24 and I had them at 13. Jared Lloyd finished with 13 tackles for the Bears, so their defense was not a pushover either.

45-13

I had SMU 42, Missouri State 14, and Missouri State finished with 24. My score pick is going to take a hit, but the winner was never in doubt once Jennings settled in after that pick-six. I said this program has real pedigree and they proved it.

42-14

I said SMU was looking past opponents on Family Weekend and Kevin Jennings threw a pick-six in the first quarter. The look-past was real, the Bears just could not finish it. I am calling that a moral victory and moving on.

34-28

Also, @drew called Wisconsin over Penn State this week and hit it while the rest of us went Penn State and got burned. I am not going to let that slide without acknowledging it, even if it hurts.

52-17

Wisconsin, Alabama score, Miami score, Oregon. Drew is out here making moves while everybody else is crying about Penn State. I am still 6-8 on the season but the gap is closing, and SMU's next game is Boston College, so watch this space.

34-28

SMU wins, Kevin Jennings bounced back with 464 yards after that ugly first quarter, and Joshua Bates and that offensive line controlled the game when it mattered. Good win for the Mustangs, even if it was messier than it needed to be.

38-10
