UNIVERSTIY PARK -- SMU's 54-32 win over UNT last weekend marked a milestone that might be easy to overlook. The Mustangs started the season 2-0 for the first time since 2009 and the second time since 1996.
Sure, you might be unimpressed by a 2-0 start against FCS foe Stephen F. Austin and a Mean Green program the Mustangs have historically owned. But SMU exerted its will in these two games.
The Mustangs are tied with Texas Tech as the No. 5 scoring offense in the country, averaging 56.0 points per game. SMU scored in all six trips to the red zone and reached the end zone after all five forced turnovers.
