RUSTON, La. — Another week, another win.
Wait. That’s not right.
Try two: Another week, another win, that looks like a loss, but feels like a win, and actually doesn’t matter at all.
Yup, that sums it up better.
For the second straight week, SMU beat an inferior team, skating by in just about every sense of the word. In Ruston, SMU required a miracle comeback, a Hail Mary tipped pass that, according to Ulysses Bentley IV, sometimes doesn’t even work in practice. Had that play not worked, SMU would have been staring down its first September loss since 2018.
