9/02: Stephen F. Austin
Stephen F. Austin is an FCS Program that SMU has played before. The two teams last met in 2012, when the Mustangs won 52-0. This year should be more of the same. The Lumberjacks had a tumultuous offseason after going 5-6 in 2016, bringing in five new coaches and changing their defensive set to a 3-3-5. Offensively, Stephen F. Austin boasts former TCU QB Sawyer Foster as its signal caller. With an experienced quarterback, Stephen F. Austin could put some points up against the Mustangs defense, but it likely will not be enough for the Lumberjacks to pull off an upset.
