SMU football 2011

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the first four games I have shot of the SMU Mustangs during the 2011 season.  So far they are off to a 4-1 start and are receiving votes for the Top 25 after their 40-33 victory over TCU.  

 


SMU v. UTEP 11-14-09

SMU held on to defeat the UTEP Miners by a score of 35-31.  It took as stop on 4th and goal for the Miners, but the win made the Mustangs bowl eligible and has them sitting atop the West of Conference USA.


SMU v. Rice

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!

SMU v. Navy

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.


SMU v. East Carolina

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.
