The SMU Mustangs attempt to become the first team from the ACC to go 3-0 on Friday as they take on the BYU Cougars at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Mustangs opened their season with a 59-7 rout of Houston Christian before gutting out a tough 29-24 win over Nevada to become the first 2-0 team in a loaded ACC conference. SMU quarterback Preston Stone has already covered 332 passing yards with three touchdowns, while his running back Brashard Smith has already tallied 175 yards with three TDs on 20 carries. The Cougars decimated Southern Illinois 41-13 to kick off their season on a strong note. Jake Retzlaff went for 348 passing yards with three TDs, and running back LJ Martin ran for 67 yards with one TD on 13 carries.

Our SMU Mustangs vs BYU Cougars Prediction
The SMU Mustangs have won four of their last five games coming into Saturday’s clash with the BYU Cougars. I expect SMU quarterback Preston Stone to play a huge role in leading SMU to a convincing double-digit win since he will give the Cougars a lot of trouble for being a signal-caller who can deal damage on the air or on the ground. Just a quick trivia, Preston is 13-2 since assuming the starting quarterback role for the Mustang. Our betting prediction for SMU Mustangs vs. BYU Cougars: Bet on SMU to cover -11.5 points, -110, at BetMGM.
