UNIVERSITY PARK – One thing SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee has continuously made clear from the start of the season is that the team’s focus was on its success in the American Athletic Conference, and not anything else.
However, if last week’s loss to UCF was to be any indication of the team’s conference aspirations, things weren’t looking too promising for the Mustangs, and Lashlee himself admitted there was much work to be done.
And was work done. The three consecutive losses could have really hurt this team’s spirit, and to be able to bounce back from that would make any head coach glad.
