The 35-22 victory over the Mustangs earns the Cougars a 2-0 start to conference play against one of the nation’s top offensive teams. SMU entered the game with a 4-1 record and the third-ranked offense in the country averaging over 48 points per game.
Anyone who follows college football recognized that the Cougars, although the favorite to win the game, would have their hands full attempting to slow down the high-powered Mustang offense.
Considering that Houston’s offensive attack has fallen asleep for quarters at a time this season, the Cougars would need nothing more than a complete performance to stay perfect in American Athletic Conference play.
