SMU and Nevada will be spending Christmas Eve in Hawaii as they tangle in none other than- the Hawaii Bowl, didn't see that one coming did ya? Nevada enters with the nations leading rushing offense at over 360 yards per game. Don't remember SMU? That would be Southern Methodist University, still foggy? How about Graig James and Eric Dickerson. Thought that would ring a bell. It was back in the early 80's the Mustang program thrived under Coach Ron Meyer, then came the death penalty for recruiting violations. Twenty-five years later head coach June Jones is trying to turn the program around just as he did recently at Hawaii. So far so good. After a 1-11 campaign last year the Mustangs improved to 7-5. This one breaks down pretty simple, SMU will not be able to shut down the Nevada running game,few have, and Nevada will stuggle with the high powered air attack that Jones will impart on them as they have allowed six opponents to throw for more than 300 yards against them this year. So who wins? Probably Nevada, however a very inspired Mustang squad should put up enough resistance to make thing uncomfortable for the Wolf Pack.
