Why SMU should not take Arkansas State lightly

Adam Grosbard, SMU football beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the Mustangs and the American Athletic Conference during a live chat recently. Here are some highlights.

Question: How good is Arkansas State? Based on the non-TCU games, should this also be a winnable spot for the Ponies?

Grosbard: Arkansas State has gone to six straight bowls, was a Hail Mary away from overtime against Nebraska on the road and crushed Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This is a good team coming to Dallas at a weird spot in the schedule that could catch SMU sleeping -- after emotional rivalry games against TCU and UNT and just before conference play starts.
