UNIVERSITY PARK -- SMU's entire team is going through a youth movement as the recruits that Chad Morris signed the past few recruiting classes begin to take over starting jobs.
That youth is most visible when you look at the Mustangs' defensive secondary, where three sophomores -- safeties Mikial Onu and Rodney Clemons and corner Christian Davis -- line up with junior corner Jordan Wyatt.
With that level of youth -- Clemons is the only one of the three sophomores to have any starting experience -- SMU defensive coordinator Van Malone expects there to be a transition period before the defense hits on all cylinders.
