Top 10 highlights of the 2010 season
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:04 pm10. Armed Forces Bowl - yes, I hated to lose on national TV but it was great to see a sellout crowd.
And, it's nice to be playing when there is no out-of-town scoreboard and viewers aren't going to
switch over to another game.
9. Sterling Moore's 32-yard interception return against TCU. He ran it back to the one-yard line,
setting up a 17-14 lead before 35,481 fans and a national Friday-night ESPN audience.
8. Darryl Field's 92-yard kickoff return. Texas Tech had just taken a 35-14 lead before a Sunday
TV audience but his return allowed us to eventually close to 35-27; also, some very worried looks
on the faces of Tech fans on the final drive.
7. Kyle Padron's 371 yards against Rice. He threw for three touchdowns in the 42-31 win over the
Owls.
6. Defence stymies UAB. SMU held the Blazers to just 11 first downs and 261 total yards in the
28-7 win. Two weeks later, UAB lost 32-29 in OT to Tennessee in Knoxville.
5. Zach Line unleashed. He rumbled for 202 yards against Marshall in a 31-17 win
4. Ja'Gared Davis' fumble return. His 33-yard run gave the Mustangs a 24-17 lead late in the 3rd
quarter before 49,108 fans in East Carolina.
3. Alrdick Robinson sparkles in New Orleans. His 82-yard TD pass broke a 17-17 tie as SMU had 542
yards total offence to overcome a 17-3 deficit late in the 3rd quarter.
2. Richard Crawford's interception in overtime to allow us to win C-USA West.
1. Beating Tulsa. The Mustangs erupted for 487 yards total offence in their 21-18 win against a team which finished 10-3, including wins over Notre Dame and #25 Hawaii.
