SMU became bowl eligible with last week's comeback win over Tulsa, but coach Chad Morris was nowhere satisfied. He emphasized Tuesday that the Mustangs will need to put together a complete game Saturday if they want upset No. 15 Central Florida.
SMU quarterback Ben Hicks passed for 338 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Mustangs rally from a second-half deficit to knock off Tulsa 38-34.
SMU improved to 6-2, the Mustangs' best start since 1984. They are bowl eligible for the first time since 2012.
"We reached a milestone win in our program to become bowl eligible," Morris told reporters Tuesday.
