Junior RB Zach Line has topped the 100-yard mark in eight of 10 games this season and will face a Cougar defense that is allowing 184 yards per game on the ground.

Houston will be tested for four quarters in this game versus SMU. The Pony's already have one big upset to their credit against TCU and will be looking to topple the Cougars. The Cougars will put up big points but the Pony's will keep up for awhile. My Pick – SMU +20
