Buzz Up PrintDALLAS (AP)—The second-most touchdown passes in a game, ever. The first pair of 100-yard receivers since 1999. The first win in nearly a year.

Yep, the June Jones era is well under way at SMU.

Bo Levi Mitchell threw three touchdown passes to Emmanuel Sanders and two more to Aldrick Robinson in the Mustangs’ 47-36 victory over Texas State on Saturday night.

The victory ended an 11-game losing streak, which was tied for the longest in the country. It also made Jones a winner in his first home game, his second overall since taking over a program that’s had only one winning season in the last 20 years.

“This is exactly what I thought would happen,â€

The Mustangs...but needed...an onside kick grabbed by Sanders in the final few minutes to hold off their Bowl Subdivision foe.

Last time I checked, there was no 11 point play in college football. I could be wrong though.

Not only was I alive, but I do remember it.

I could be wrong, but I thought we were pretty short on time when that all happened.

We were up 20 with 4 minutes left in the game back then.

Yay. He's not Mike Leach.

Wonder if he also likes pirates, though.

The DMN blog from 10:40 p.m. Saturday has the Mustangs defeating the Bobcats by a score of 47-35. (in the blog's text...not the headline)

But the DMN made damn sure they got the UT v UTEP score correct! BEVO Corp. strikes again!

There were more there than I expected-I thought I was optomistic in predicting 18,000-but there was not 22,000 in the stands. Its nice to fill up the West Stands though.
