4. Run over- SMU’s front seven was expected to be a strength this season with all three starters returning on the defensive line. But the group was absolutely dominated in Denton. North Texas’ offensive line overpowered the Mustangs and opened up some huge running lanes for Reggie Pegram, Jeffrey Wilson and Antoinne Jimmerson. The three backs combined for 190 yards and two touchdowns. If SMU keeps this up, opposing teams are going to gash the Ponies right up the gut. SMU was simply outmuscled, outplayed and outcoached. It looks like it’s going to be a long season for head coach June Jones and defensive line coach Bert Hill.

2. Greer connection- SMU has had trouble landing quarterbacks from its own backyard. But did you know Greer was almost a Mustang? Here is what he had to say about SMU during the recruiting process: “SMU is a great school, and they run the exact same offense we run at Arlington. I’d fit in well at SMU. Coach (June) Jones and Coach (Dan) Morrison have a great resume when it comes to teaching quarterbacks. SMU has an up and coming program.” After landing Neal Burcham, SMU decided not to offer Greer. 5. Rivalry- SMU’s big rival is obviously TCU. But North Texas apparently considers SMU its biggest rival. In case you missed it, you should really check out George Dunham’s epic rant on the subject. But the fact of the matter is SMU has dominated the all-time series, 28-4-1. To be considered a rivalry game, both sides must be competitive. The “Safeway Bowl” has been anything but.
