I travelled to Lubbock to watch SMU’s season opener against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It was a very hot day, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Jones AT&T Stadium. Loud crowd and a good game that came down to the final possession with Tech hanging on for a 35-27 victory.

November 7, 2009 – It was Homecoming at SMU as the Mustangs took on the Rice Owls. SMU took at early lead but were soon down to the winless Owls. It wasn’t until Sterling Moore blocked a Rice field goal attempt and Bryan McCann returned it for a touchdown on the last play of the first half that SMU would take the lead for good. It wasn’t easy, but the Mustangs were able to hold out for a 31-28 win. Next week the Mustangs face the UTEP Miners, and a victory will make the Mustangs bowl eligible!

October 17, 2009 – Dallas, Texas - SMU battled Navy for the Frank Gansz Trophy. President & Mrs. Bush were on hand for the coin toss, the Navy Seals parachuted in the game ball and there was a fly by from three F-18s during the National Anthem. The game lived up to the hype with Navy and SMU battling into overtime. Navy came out on top 38-35.

October 10, 2009 – Dallas, Texas – SMU faced off against the defending Conference USA champion East Carolina Pirates. East Carolina went into the game as the favorites, but it was SMU who ended up on top 28-21 in a back and forth game that wasn’t decided until the last minutes of the fourth quarter. The victory sees SMU go 2-0 in conference for the first time since 1986 when SMU was 3-0 in the old Southwest Conference.

SMU v. Stephen F. Austin

Saturday, September 5, 2009 – Dallas, Texas: SMU defeated Stephen F. Austin for their first opening game victory since 2000. The victory against SFA was not a pretty one with the game still in doubt well into the second half. With two minutes left, and SMU up 24-23 SFA’s kicker missed a field goal, and on the subsequent possession Miami transfer RB Shawbrey McNeal broke a 49 yard touchdown run to preserve the victory for SMU.

On a day when SMU’s passing attack was not very effective McNeal, who was granted permission by the NCAA to play this year only the day before, rushed for 158 yards on 19 carries and scored one touchdown.
