First Football Game of the Season Results in a Mustang Win

Rhett Lashlee debuts as head coach at his introductory SMU football game, leading the ponies against the University of North Texas. The game not only featured Lashlee’s first game at the new job position but highlighted new and returning Mustang starts.

QB 1 Tanner Mordecai threw for 432 yards and completed four touchdown passes throughout the game.

Mordecai found wide receiver Jordan Kerley in a 51-yard pass in the second quarter resulting in a touchdown and a Mustang lead of 24-3.

To end the half, Mordecai once again threw a 75-yard pass caught by Roderick Daniels, who finished the play by running into the in-zone.
