Saturday offered fans the first look at SMU in year two under Chad Morris. SMU’s spring practices started nearly three weeks ago, but Saturday marked the first real scrimmage, where the coaches created a game-like situation.
“This was our first day of really bearing down on these guys and trying to strain them a little bit. We ran about 130-140 play scrimmage,” Morris said.
Morris has stressed all spring that every spot is open, but he focused on the quarterback battle on Saturday. While Matt Davis was SMU’s primary quarterback in 2015, he is not confirmed as the starter for 2016.
