SMU 35, No. 20 North Carolina 14
Key player: Bobby Martin steps up in place of injured Danny Richardson and hits career highs in carries (40) and rushing yards (219).
The skinny: Richardson, who was a Heisman candidate, is done for the season because of a concussion. He's seeing little birdies circling his head after being decked by a Tar Heels linebacker. ... Mustangs get commitment from beastly DE Arthur Weeks and DT Thomas Gates. Next year's defensive line will be every bit the monster that this one's is.
The Mustangs are on course for a title-game matchup game against No. 2 Cincinnati so far, but the real national-title game could be coming in the Big 12 championship against No. 6 Texas Tech, which is No. 1 in the nation in offense, passing and scoring (46.2 points per game).
