Here are five things SMU fans need to know about the Mustangs' Week 3 opponent, Michigan:
The Legend
SMU has only played Michigan once in its history, a 27-16 loss in 1963. The game itself wasn't very notable. But it did inspire the name of the most famous muscle car in American history... or so they say.
It's a true story.
Actually, it's only half true. But worth revisiting.
Legend has it that when Ford Motor Company was preparing to introduce the sports car that would gain fame as the Mustang, it was considering other names such as Cougar, Bronco, Cheetah and Colt.
