Listen: SMU Beat Reporter Lia Assimakopulous on What Mustangs Need to Do to Beat Penn State

SMU is a dangerous team but odds have it as an underdog at Penn State in the first round of the College Football Playoff Dec. 19.

On a bonus episode of Joe and the Fatman, we interviewed Lia Assimakopoulos, who covers SMU for the Dallas Morning News, and talked about the Mustangs.

We discussed the impact of SMU coach Rhett Lashlee making the QB switch from Preston Stone to Kevin Jennings, the possible impact cold weather will have on the Mustangs and, of course, what her prediction was.

Penn State and SMU are scheduled to kick off at noon on TNT and HBO Max.
