SMU aims for upset against No. 15 Central Florida
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.
