I was at the game myself. It was very very exciting, came down to the very last seconds. The guys really had to execute to pull this one off but the win is VERY sweet! I know several of the players and I know they have been working so hard this year and to finally see what the program has worked so hard for for so many years finally become a reality, most of them are beyond words.
This honestly feels like the first time the students are PROUD to say they are Mustangs, and very proud of our team. I have never seen everyone so excited about football. It was very fun to see everyone rush the field at the end of the game too. It was also Family Weekend today too so they definitely got an exciting game and they got to see exactly how much our team has improved this year.
As far as statistics go:
SMU is 5-1 in Conference USA; which is tied for the league lead and leads the west division. This is the best league record for SMU since a 7-1 league mark in 1983. It is also the most league wins for the Mustangs since joining C-USA (won four C-USA games in 2005 and 2006).
SMU is 6-4 on the season and bowl eligible for the fifth time (1985, 1986, 1997, 2006, 2009) since the last bowl appearance. The last bowl was the 1984 Aloha Bowl (Dec. 28, 1984, 27-24 win vs. Notre Dame).
We just got June Jones last year and he is making so many strides to turn this team around. We are super excited and proud here on the Hilltop!
As also stated in the topic title, we went 1-11 last year on the season and now we currently sit at 6-4. Amazing turnaround! I am so proud of my team and just wanted to share
