Keylon Kincade is third in the WAC in rushing with 93.7 yards per game ... he has a WAC-high 79 rushing attempts this season ... .

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

The DMN says the redshirts are coming off Cory Muse and Joey Sturdivant. Is it necessary to play Muse? Who will he play for? Or is he just going to play special teams?

He'll probably back up Bischoff. Bennett isn't taking a RS off anyone to just play special teams.

So he's jumping ahead of Jarrian James?
