This was from the section of What we learned about the AQ Bowl Season with SMU mentions.
3. Minor uprising: Three teams went to bowls this season after more than a decade drought and two came away with victories. Idaho and SMU both made the country sit up and take notice after their big wins in the their respective bowl games. SMU’s dominant win over Nevada has piqued interest because the Mustangs have not been relevant for 25 years. Coach June Jones is known for his ability to turn programs around, but what he’s done at SMU in such a short amount of time, has created a lot of optimism.
