Jones yet to implement all of system at SMU

HUNTINGTON -- Despite earlier-than-anticipated success, SMU football isn't exactly filling the tradition mold of second-year head coach June Jones.

Known for his prolific offenses, particularly during his tenure at Hawaii, Jones' Mustang squad is excelling through complete efforts. SMU's defense ranks seventh nationally with 16 interceptions and is tied for No. 8 among Division I-A programs with 26 takeaways.

Then there's Margus Hunt. The rangy defensive end already has established an SMU single-season record with seven blocked kicks. The 6-foot-8, 267-pound redshirt freshman, who also boasts 1.5 sacks, is one block short of tying the NCAA's single-season record, shared by three players.

Jones' teams traditionally are predicated on offense, and this year's squad is producing. SMU averages 27.8 points and more than 378 total yards, including 271.7 passing, a game leading to the Mustangs' Conference USA surprising West Division lead.
