How can a losing season be seen as a success? Pretty easily when your team was marred in a depressing swirl of one or two-win seasons. The SMU Mustangs went 1-11 in 2014 and then just 2-10 in their first year under Chad Morris. In 2016, they turned things around and threatened to compete for a bowl game before falling just short at 5-7. That record was better than what the Cincinnati Bearcats put forth and was the team’s best mark since 2013, which was the beginning of the end of the June Jones era.
