The No. 16 SMU Mustangs (1-0) are set to host the Baylor Bears (0-1) at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Saturday, September 6.
Baylor entered the year with lofty expectations, but the Bears are already staring down the possibility of an 0-2 start. Their opener against Auburn exposed major flaws on defense, as the unit surrendered 38 points in a disappointing loss despite the offense putting up 24.
SMU, on the other hand, enjoyed a comfortable start to the season. While their opponent, East Texas A&M, didn’t pose the same challenge Baylor faced, the Mustangs took care of business with authority, cruising to a 42-13 victory.
