UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Brandon Crossley waited nearly ten months to play in front of his family in Dallas. He thought the opportunity would come earlier, and look a bit different, but Saturday night’s 50-7 win over Stephen F. Austin would suffice.
The Colorado State transfer’s interception — a play in which he ran through a ball that was kicked up off the ground by an unsuspecting Larry Jones III — served as the highlight of SMU’s final tune-up before conference play.
And even if Saturday’s victory will go down as a rather mundane by SMU’s standards, for Crossley this celebration might be a little sweeter.
