Anybody else seen SMUs new uniforms this year? I had to go to their website to find out why they have Dallas on the front. Apparently they are promoting the fact they are in Dallas (Okay I'm sure not everybody knew) and trying to become Dallas' team.
I find the mustang over the big D on their helmets looks good but the word Dallas across the front blah, bland and out of place. Were I an SMU alum or fan I would much prefer to see the large SMU across the front.
Maybe Ponyup can give some insight.

They had Dallas on their jerseys last year, too.

I think it's a pretty good short term advertising campaign. Nobody's really laid claim to owning Dallas, so it makes some sense.

I wouldn't mind if we ran out some East Texas jersey styles on occasion.

I kind of like it, but if they're doing it in 10 years, it'll be overdone.

If we did this I'd definitely want it to be a one off game and then them auction the jerseys off after the game.

Line has opened up at SFA +34.5. We are 1-1 against the spread so far this season.

I'm going to have to put a few shekels down on that!

Hoping I am wrong, but I think this is the week our youth and lack of depth really shows.

Watched a bad Middle Tennessee team run up 563 yards on UTSA. SMU is much, much better than our first two opponents.

Shorten the game, don't get hurt, collect the check.

Mistake free football and a few bounces our way to stay in this one.

I'm looking for my 3 INTS and a pick 6 prediction from the Jacks defense.

Yeah 54-27 sounds about right. But I'm okay with that too.
It would be our best offensive showing of the year.

Realistically this is a top 25 SMU team without COVID.

Realistically, we are a top 25 FCS team without COVID.

I'm happy with our team to keep progressing as it is. Let's get this over with. Hopefully stay competitive for the most part. And reload and get ready for the next one.

Anyone at the game? For "play by play"?

I'll try to keep up with it on the sawmill Twitter.

But rough start for us.

I hope this is not a preview of the entire game plan. Three runs going nowhere.

Unimaginative start on offense...3 rushes for 1 yard and McGowan limps off the field. Ward injured and unavailable tonight.

Only other to RBs for SFA are freshmen. Depending on the extent of the injury to McGowen, we may see very few rushes for the remainder of the game.

Announcers mentioned that SFA opponents are hitting 3rd downs at 70% vs our defense in first 2 games.

Completely uncatchable pass. No need for that contact.
SFA Jack Fanatic

Stopping the run. Not stopping the pass.

Swing passes are killing us, just as they did vs. UTSA.
SFASawmillGuy

If I was them I'd run exclusively swing passes.
SFA Jack Fanatic
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why can the Jacks not come close to defending the swing passes out of the backfield?? Wide open every time.

Mix of youth in the secondary and mismatches. We can't match up with a team like SMU the same way we can against Southland schools. We can't afford to commit to them.

SMU is playing like a power 5 team, and a top power 5 team. They are infinitely faster and better than UTEP or UTSA.

The players are getting frustrated already. Coach carthel is jumping on them.

I have to keep telling myself... Big payday. Big payday...

Wow...I know this is a money game but...when will SMU send out their 3rd string?! I'm really worried about injuries...one player already down. I know it's good experience but I'm all about safety.

Sure would like to see our special teams play better. Understand that tonight will be a bad beatdown but that was a catchable snap. Special teams have been a weakness the first 2+ games.

Let's be honest, were gonna get blasted.

But, you hope to see some improvements here and there.

The key is to get our money and don't get anyone long-term hurt.




Told y'all.

I would honestly feel much better playing a big 12 team right now. When we scheduled SMU it sounded good. Now they're good. Really good.

Badly thrown ball on that TD. Should've been a swatted pass or a pick.

SMU has backups in on defense.
