On a cold night in Dallas, SMU became bowl eligible for the first time since 2012 after defeating Tulsa 38-34 in a nail-biter.
“This is the kind of game you build your team around,” said Chad Morris in the press conference after the game.
“This is why we came here,” James Proche said about achieving bowl eligibility.
It was a tale of two halves Friday night, especially for the Mustangs’ defense. Tulsa scored 28 points in the first half, but SMU was able to hold the Golden Hurricane to just two field goals in the second.
