Sonny Dykes said he would take a hands off approach going into SMU’s Frisco Bowl matchup against Louisiana. He was going to oversee the team, and let Chad Morris’ leftover staff do the heavy lifting.
On second thought, maybe that was a bad idea.
The Mustangs were completely unprepared Wednesday night en route to a 51-10 loss at Toyota Stadium in the inaugural Frisco Bowl.
SMU fell flat in Dykes’ debut. The Mustangs just looked incredibly sloppy from the get go. On the first play, Xavier Jones fumbled the ball and Louisiana Tech recovered. SMU would go on to turn the ball over on each of its first three drives, and on four of its first six.
