• XX% of sports bets are currently on Houston to win as (TBD) underdogs.
• The line for this game is Houston by 21 points.
• SMU used a bye week to get healthy before Saturday’s visit from No. 11 Houston. The Mustangs, who have lost three straight, should have several offensive linemen and their backup quarterback available for a matchup with one of the country’s top defenses.
• Freshman defensive tackle Ed Oliver leads the Cougar defense with 43 tackles, five pass breakups and 9.5 tackles for loss after a career-high 12 stops last week against Tulsa. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. (1,938 passing yards, 11 TDs and team-high 414 rushing yards, six TDs) ranks fourth nationally in total offense (392 yards) while leading a team that has scored at least 33 points in each of its six games. Dillon Birden is coming off a career-best 82 rushing yards and three scores while Linell Bonner bumped his team-leading total to 653 receiving yards with a career-high 13 catches for 97 yards.
• Hicks (1,284 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions) had career highs in completions (29), attempts (52) and yards (258) against Tulsa – the first game the offensive line did not allow a sack. Braeden West has a team-high 521 rushing yards and three scores while Courtland Sutton is averaging 98.3 receiving yards with four TDs. SMU is ranked second nationally with 13 interceptions – including four by Jordan Wyatt and Horace Richardson – but is allowing 454.8 yards.
• RB Xavier Jones, who set a SMU freshmen record with 10 rushing touchdowns last year, will likely miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury suffered Oct. 1, coach Chad Morris said this week.
• Houston RB Duke Catalon (225 yards in three games) was cleared for full practice Tuesday and could play Saturday after missing three games following a concussion.
• SMU is the only FBS school with three players with three or more interceptions (Darrion Millines’ three, Wyatt, Richardson).
