Clash at Raymond James Stadium: SMU Mustangs vs South Florida Bulls in Upcoming Football Showdown

As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs prepare to face the South Florida Bulls at Raymond James Stadium, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Mustangs, coming off a high-scoring victory against the Houston Cougars on November 5th, have shown they possess an offense that can light up the scoreboard. In that game, SMU put up a staggering 77 points and amassed 642 total yards of offense.

The passing game was particularly impressive, with a completion percentage of around 76 percent and nine touchdowns thrown. The rushing attack added another two scores while averaging nearly six yards per carry. Defensively, SMU also made their presence felt by recording three interceptions and two sacks.

Looking back at their October 29th encounter with Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, the Mustangs again demonstrated their offensive prowess by scoring 45 points. Their defense forced turnovers too – recovering two fumbles and returning one for a touchdown.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for SMU in recent weeks. Against Cincinnati Bearcats on October 22nd, they suffered a narrow defeat with only 27 points scored – a significant drop from their other high-scoring affairs. This loss highlighted some potential vulnerabilities as they allowed six sacks and managed just over three yards per carry on the ground.

Despite these concerns, there is reason to believe that SMU will bring its A-game against USF. The Bulls will need to be wary of this potent Mustangs' offense if they hope to keep pace in what could become another shootout.

The upcoming game promises to be an exciting matchup between two teams eager to prove themselves late in the season. With kickoff scheduled for November 12th at noon EST (5 PM GMT), fans should not miss out on what could be one of the more entertaining games of college football's Week 11 slate.
