When do we get to talk about the upcoming game against UCF?

[Samurai Stang]

SMU plays a better team next week: UCF.

SS - I didn't want to read through the [deleted] contest that happened last night. I am honestly interested in how we can move forward. I don't always agree with your opinions, however, you do provide an insight I often have not considered.

Really hoping the time off heals some of our guys and lets them review lots of UCF game tape

Will beasley be back?

Per PP

• WR Cole Beasley, who sat out of the win over TCU with a knee injury, "ran a little for the first time" Thursday. He followed practice with a visit to the training room, and left the Loyd All-Sports Center with a bag of ice on his knee. Beasley said he hopes to "start cutting" (while running) Saturday, and retains hope that he can return to the lineup in time for next week's game against UCF.

USU football: Evan Huahulu update

It's been a few weeks since Huahulu, who transferred to Utah State from SMU, left the football team.

But the presence of the nosetackle is still missed.

Coaches have had little to say on the issue as to why Huahulu isn't an Aggie at this point. Gary Andersen did say that Huahulu will remain on scholarship and that he remains in school and is still going to class.

"The goal is for him to graduate," Andersen said.

Huahulu himself has been unavailable for comment. His mother, Cynthia Anne Fenno Huahulu, did speak to the Tribune on Thursday morning.

"Evan completely supports the football team, and he completely supports the school," Huahulu said. "He has no ill feelings towards anyone, and right now his focus is on graduating. He's very thankful for his opportunity to play at Utah State and loves the school and the community."

Evan Huahulu, at this point, still has football eligibility remaining, although it's not known whether he wants to pursue another athletic opportunity or not.

Cynthia Huahulu did say that her son is on track to graduate this spring, and that his next move in life will be teaching/coaching underpriviledged kids.

Evan Huahulu is the second USU player to leave the program since August. Quarterback Alex Hart left the team two weeks into preseason practice.

Will be great to get Beas back, but at least these guys know they can win big games without him.

But it sure makes me feel better knowing he's out there. One of the most consistent WR's we've had in a long time (excluding ES, of course).

Other than the obvious; that SMU needs to win every game it plays, I believe this game against UCF is really a tell tale game. If SMU comes out and plays physical football with a lot of intensity like they did against TCU; if the QB continues to progress; if there is no sense of entitlement because we beat TCU, ; if SMU also plays with poise and maturity and wins the turnover battle; then I believe we can say that SMU football is really making progress and is coming of age. If the opposite holds true and the team is flat, it will be a setback

[Statler]

We can't talk about UCF...we have more panic attacks to go!

[Junior]

Derail UCF!

I like JJ's line that UCF "won't care that we beat TCU".

I'm kind of excited June Jones identified Kyle Guinyard as the most impressive player in the Freshman Bowl-there were plenty of guys returning from injuries that appeared to have contributed. I was about to give up on him because of successive injuries but now I wonder if he gets a shot later in the year. I see potential in both Thompson and Holman but I wouldn't be surprised if Guinyard is more polished than both once he's healthy. Catching about 110 passes as a Junior show he must nave natural instincts as a receiver. He was the most prolific receiver in Texas High School Football as a Junior/Senior while he was healthy with a 138 catches for 2200 yards in 1.3 seasons
