The Mustangs continue their winning streak with a win over California
No. nine SMU dominated California, beating them 38-6. The Mustangs left no breathing room for the Golden Bears to score a touchdown, keeping them trailing throughout the game. SMU is now 11-1; dominating the ACC and holding the highest ranking since 1985.
The Mustangs achieved the four-spot leap in just a week, clinching a spot in the ACC Championship. Coach Rhett Lashlee is proud of his team’s performance both offensively and defensively. Prior to Saturday’s game, in a post-practice media interview held on Nov. 26, Lashlee said he may not have foreseen the team’s current success but always had belief in the team.
