Bowl Season Winners and Losers (Yahoo)

SMU: The Mustangs entered the Frisco with a depleted coaching staff thanks to Chad Morris’ departure to Arkansas and some assistants going along with him. That included Jeff Traylor, who was appointed the team’s interim coach after Morris’ departure.

So instead of appointing a second interim coach, SMU had new coach Sonny Dykes coach the bowl game with the skeleton crew that was left. It didn’t work out well at all. SMU was blitzed 51-10 and gave up 42 points in the first half.

Things are much better at SMU than they were when Morris got there, so Dykes should have SMU competing for bowl games on a regular basis. But man, Dec. 20 was a flashback to uglier times for many Mustang fans.
