UNIVERSITY PARK -- Needing to win one of their final two games to become bowl eligible, SMU has set the stage for a dramatic conclusion.
The Mustangs have won three of their last four games, and have the chance to post seven victories for the first time since 2012.
For a program on the rise, this represents a golden opportunity - closing the regular season at home against two quality opponents with a bowl bid at stake.
SMU (5-5, 3-3) plays South Florida (8-2, 5-1) on Saturday at Ford Stadium, and then plays host to Navy (7-2, 5-1) a week later.
