The SMU Mustangs started off a wild day in college football with an upset over the No. 22 Louisville Cardinals at 11 a.m. on ESPN. On a weekend where two top-five teams, five top-ten teams, and seven ranked teams lost, SMU’s historic win might’ve been initially overlooked on Saturday.
Once the game kicked off, SMU got the ball and drove right down the field to start, with Roderick Daniels Jr. punching in a run from five yards out to put the Mustangs up 7-0 early in the 1st quarter. The Louisville offense, which has been explosive all year long, answered back with a touchdown as Tyler Shough found his favorite target, Ja’Corey Brooks, to tie the game at 7.
