Result: Loss
8* SMU (TOP SIDE)

We're going to say that Nevada will have a difficult time moving the ball and keeping pace with SMU, which finished 8-0 in the AAC last year, beating Tulane in the AAC Championship Game. But now the Mustangs are transitioning over to the ACC. SMU though is projected to finish in the top half of what really is a big conference now. Last year the Mustangs finished 22nd in the FBS in passing offnese with 278.4 YPG, while going 40th in rushing. Overall they averged 48.7 PPG, while allowing just 17.6 (QB Preston Stone is back under center this year as well.) SMU has a strong run game as well. Nevada on the other hand finished just 2-10. Ken Wilson is out as head coach, and Jeff Choate is in. Last year the Wolf Pack finished 111th in the country in passing offense with 175.2 YPG, while finishing 98th in rushing offense. Overall Nevada averaged only 17.8 PPG, while allowing 33.4. Brendon Lewis is the Week 0 starting QB for Nevada, last year he had two TD's and six INT's. Also note that Nevada had to replace its four starting WR's from last season. Everything points to a lop-sided blowout, so lay the points, the play is indeed on SMU!
