RUSTON, La. (AP) — Tanner Mordecai threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Roderick Roberson Jr. on the final play to give SMU a 39-37 win at Louisiana Tech in a non-conference game Saturday.
Austin Kendall fired an 11-yard strike to Marcus Williams Jr. with 5:07 left, then set up a 38-yard field goal by Cesar Barajas to give Louisiana Tech a 37-33 advantage with :36 to play.
Mordecai drove the Mustangs 73 yards in six plays for the game winner.
The game featured former Oklahoma quarterbacks as opposing starters. Both Mordecai and Kendall were Sooners in 2018 before both opted to transfer.
