UNIVERSITY PARK -- It wasn't all good news from Chad Morris after the Mustangs' 44-21 win over Arkansas State.

The SMU head coach had to address another death in the Mustang family as former player Blake Carlisle died this week. Carlisle signed with SMU in its 2016 recruiting class and played for the team last season but left the program before the 2017 season.

"We had another tragic accident with one of our former players, Blake Carlisle, a part of our StangGang16 class. I don't want to forget him and his family as they're going through a tough loss right now with Blake and a terrible accident," Morris said.
