Game Time Announced for SMU vs. North Texas

The Friday night lights aren't reserved exclusively for high school football. ESPN 2 is set to air North Texas and SMU's showdown at 8 p.m. on Friday, November 10 from Gerald J. Ford Stadium in the heart of Dallas.

SMU has dominated the "Safeway Bowl" since the two teams renewed their annual contest in 2014, winning seven of nine. Historically, these games haven't been nail-biters, the closest margin of victory coming in 2016 when SMU outlasted the Mean Green 34-21. Last year was no exeception. The Mustangs raced to a 24-3 lead with just under five minutes remaining in the first half and cruised to a 48-10 victory. SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai carved the North Texas secondary for 432 yards and four touchdowns, one of which was a 51-yard strike to returning wide receiver Jordan Kerley.
