Prairie View A&M will visit Dallas to take on SMU at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Saturday evening. One of these teams will get a much-needed rebound from a recent loss. SMU lost to Oklahoma, while PVAMU was taken down by Abilene Christian 45-16. With no recent history between these teams, early possessions could really set the tone. Each side will be looking to make a mark early and take control of the game.
