Things were looking up for the SMU Mustangs late in their 31-24 loss against Central Florida on Saturday night. Down just seven points to the No. 18 team in the country, they were driving the ball down the field with an opportunity to tie the game.
The Mustangs had two plays to get two yards and continue their drive. They had all the momentum on their side, and the home crowd behind them. It looked like they would pick it up.
But on third down, Ben Hicks was stopped for a one-yard loss, making the task a little bit more difficult.
