SMU stuns No. 11 Houston in program win for Morris, Mustangs

Prior to Saturday, second-year SMU coach Chad Morris was 4-14 with victories over North Texas (2), Tulane, and Liberty and the Mustangs entered their home game with No. 11 Houston (6-2, 3-2) as more than a three-touchdown underdog.

However, Tom Herman’s club—which was looking to stay in the thick of the AAC West hunt—suffered a decisive 38-16 blowout loss in Dallas and fell completely out of this week’s AP Poll.
