Current Records: SMU 5-0-0; Tulsa 2-2-0
What to Know
SMU is 1-3 against Tulsa since 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap on Saturday. An American Athletic battle is on tap between SMU and Tulsa at 7:30 p.m. ET at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Mustangs know how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past four matchups -- so hopefully Tulsa likes a good challenge.
SMU took their contest against South Florida last week by a conclusive 48-21 score. Winning may never get old, but SMU sure is getting used to it with five in a row now.
Meanwhile, the Golden Hurricane weren't the first ones on the board two weeks ago, but they got there more often. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Wyoming, sneaking past 24-21.
Their wins bumped the Mustangs to 5-0 and the Golden Hurricane to 2-2. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Mustangs rank second in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 19 on the season. Less enviably, Tulsa is 14th worst in the nation in rushing yards per game, with only 106 on average. So the Tulsa squad has its work cut out for it.
