College Football Thursday: Undefeated SMU Visits Houston Tonight

There’s only game in college football tonight.

It’s between the undefeated SMU Mustangs, who are ranked 16th in the nation, and the Houston Cougars, who have struggled this season under new head coach Dana Holgorsen.

SMU is one of the surprises this season in college football. After his results at UC Berkeley were...disappointing, I don’t think anyone would have predicted that Sonny Dykes would have the Mustangs undefeated at this point in his second season, but SMU comes into tonight’s game with a 7-0 record.

Meanwhile, at Houston, there have been suggestions that Holgorsen has been attempting the collegiate version of tanking after he decided to redshirt senior starting quarterback D’Eriq King and senior wide receiver Keith Corbin after four games, even though both players were healthy.
