The Owls loss to Memphis last week put the team behind in the American Athletic Conference standings, but the team can guarantee a spot in the conference championship by winning its last six games.
After the Mustangs jumped out to a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game, the Owls rattled off 35 straight points on their way to a 45-20 win on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Southern Methodist scored 40 points against the Owls last season, but the Mustangs will be without quarterback Matt Davis when they come to Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday.
