The visor left Chad Morris’ hand and went up into the air for some fans to fight over, a chance for the ultimate souvenir from SMU’s first home win against a ranked team in 11 years.
Morris, surrounded by students in the middle of the field at Ford Stadium, let out a victorious shout. The fans around him chanted “S-M-U,” a chorus only reserved for Moody Coliseum the past few years. Once he finished taking pictures with fans and recruits, he went to SMU’s locker room to continue the celebration.
Quarterback Ben Hicks took a break from the pictures, handshakes and emotion to give his parents a hug.
