SMU football released its 2017 schedule. The slate of 12 games includes four non-conference games and seven home games.
The Mustangs open up against an FCS team, Stephen F. Austin at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Sept. 2. They then host North Texas, travel to TCU and return home to play Arkansas State, rounding out their non-conference schedule.
SMU’s conference schedule begins September 30 against UConn, and is followed by games in Houston and Cincinnati, with a bye week sandwiched in between their road contests. The Ponies return home from Cincinnati to play Tulsa on a Friday night, with UCF coming in the next week.
