SMU fans can finally book their tickets to Charlotte! The SMU Mustangs clinch a spot in the ACC Championship with their dominant 33-7 win over Virginia. SMU advances to 10-1 in the season and keeps their perfect record in ACC play alive, moving to 7-0.
It was a slow start for SMU, who received the opening kickoff but punted after picking up one first down. Even though the SMU offense may not have shown up right away, the SMU defense held the line from the very first play, not allowing Virginia into SMU territory until the Cavaliers’ third drive of the game and placing constant pressure on a flustered Anthony Colandrea.
