UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Ulysses Bentley IV said it with a growing smile across his face.
“It felt good, man,” Bentley IV said, talking about his 56-yard rushing touchdown where he cut back across the field, threw off a defender and scampered free into the end zone.
In truth, though, Bentley could have been talking about anything in SMU’s 55-28 win over UCF. Not just his first touchdown in over a month.
Because, for SMU, which had seen its season nearly crumble in the span of two weeks after falling out of contention in the AAC and the ever-present noise of coaching rumors, this was a feel-good win.
