SMU true freshman quarterback Kyle Padron has the Mustangs still angling for a Conference USA West title.
Padron completed 20-of-30 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-13 win over Tulsa. His 354 passing yards was the most by a SMU quarterback in his first start.
Padron was named the starter earlier this week after staring quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was ruled out because of a dislocated shoulder and a partially torn labrum. Padron had played against Houston last week after Mitchell went down.
The Mustangs are now tied atop Conference USA West with Houston, however, the Cougars hold the tiebreaker with a win over the Mustangs last week.
It’s amazing how quickly coach June Jones has been able to turn this team around and make it a formidable squad in Conference USA.
