Bo Levi Mitchell: NEW AND IMPROVED

After being thrown into the fire as the Ponies' starting quarterback as a true freshman in 2008, Bo Levi Mitchell did a lot of good things: he threw for nearly 3,000 yards, cracked the 300-yard barrier in four games and fell two short of tying the SMU record for touchdown passes in a season. But he was far from perfect. As he and his teammates worked to pick up SMU head coach June Jones' new Run-and-Shoot offense, Mitchell also tied the school record for interceptions in a single season.
Mitchell didn't have the benefit of spring workouts before the 2008 season, and admitted that at times last summer, he was "lost" as he tried to absorb Jones' playbook. Named the starter during preseason workouts, Mitchell had to learn on the fly as he adjusted to the college game.
Now, with a season and his first spring workouts on his résumé, Mitchell is leading the Ponies in their summer workouts and seven-on-seven drills. Thanks to his improved confidence and comfort level in the Run-and-Shoot, as well as the improvement he expects from some key teammates, Mitchell said the SMU offense could be far more dangerous in 2009.
