UNIVERSITY PARK – For many SMU fans, it had been a while since there was cause for celebration at the final game of a season. Under the new coaching regime, that was a reality on Friday night because for the first time in three years, the Mustangs had managed a win on closing night.
But like the rest of the games this season, this win was tightly contested and hard fought.
“Just a good team win,” said SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee. “We learned how to finish this year.”
SMU went down 7-0 in the first quarter, but came back and put the game within three before the break.
