AP Write-up of game

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.

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.

Yay. He's not Mike Leach.

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) :roll:

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

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.
