Tanner Mordecai, T.J McDaniel and Rashee Rice combined for 418 yards of offence and 7 touchdowns, leading SMU to a 42-21 victory over Lamar at the Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
This Lashlee-coached SMU offence expressed much intent early in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns in less than a minute through two Tanner Mordecai throws to Rashee Rice and Ben Redding respectively, and giving SMU a 14-0 lead at the end of the quarter.
The second half was more of a battle, as both teams had success moving the ball, and scored 10 each, but SMU went into the break with a 24-10 lead.
