What our Post expert thinks about Arizona vs. SMU
The tension point is SMU’s attacking defense versus Noah Fifita’s disciplined command of Arizona’s midrange passing game.
Arizona leads the nation in turnover margin and is undefeated when holding teams under 395 yards, while SMU is unbeatable when it keeps passing totals below 330 but vulnerable when games open up.
If SMU’s tempo sputters and Arizona controls the clock for long stretches, that edge-of-the-seat Mustangs offense risks leaving its own defense exposed.
