What's on the line?
For SMU, it's an opportunity to earn bowl eligibility and make another statement in front of a home crowd by beating one of the top teams in the American Athletic Conference. SMU is the clear underdog, but the Mustangs have regained momentum after knocking off East Carolina on the road last week.
For South Florida, this is a game that it cannot afford to lose.
