Tonight the SMU Mustangs take on the Nevada Wolfpack in the Hawaii Bowl. June Jones returns to Hawaii where he previously coached before taking over as head coach of the SMU Mustangs two years ago. Jones has done big things with SMU in a very short time span when you consider they hadn’t made a bowl game in the last 25 years and were 1-11 last year in his first year at SMU.
Nevada started off the season 0-3, but finished out the year with an 8-1 record and a shot at the WAC title, but came up short against Boise. Nevada has two key players missing in the backfield tonight so we think SMU gets under the line.
SMU +12.5
