Ken Niumatalolo sees signs of Sonny Dykes implementing his philosophy at SMU.
Navy’s veteran head coach came away impressed after watching film of SMU going against Texas Christian University and Michigan, which are ranked No. 17 and No. 19, respectively, in the latest Associated Press poll.
“They went toe-to-toe with TCU and Michigan a lot in those games,” Niumatalolo assured.
Dykes has stated he wants to build a program in which players understand the true meaning of toughness and physicality.
Niumatalolo believes the Mustangs are making progress in that regard based off what he saw from last Saturday’s game in Ann Arbor.
