What's on the line
For SMU, it wants to get off to a 1-0 start in conference play. That seems like a relatively easy task against a UConn team that is struggling in almost every area of the game, but nothing can be taken for granted when facing an in-conference opponent. A win Saturday would mean SMU only needs two more victories in its final seven games to secure a spot in a bowl game.
