12/24/12 - The Mustangs will make their fourth straight bowl appearance. Conference USA has seven bowl tie-ins but only four bowl-eligible teams. Since C-USA will not be able to fill all the spots, determining the bowls could take a few days. Much depends on negotiations with other conferences and bowls. KEEP AN EYE ON: Zach Line rushed for three touchdowns for the first time since the Tulane game last year. He moved into second on SMU's career rushing touchdowns list with 46. He is one shy of Eric Dickerson's record. Line passed Dickerson into second in all-purpose yards (4,715). Arthur Whittington holds the record of 4,888. Line is the only player in SMU history with three 1,200-yard seasons. - The Sports Xchange
