SMU linebacker Derek Longoria met the media Thursday to discuss Saturday's game against TCU ... and his former high school teammate, TCU quarterback Casey Pachall.

Nice interview, very poised young man. If he has no residual effect from his wrist surgeries, he’s going to be a good one. Saw him play in HS, very athletic and a heat seeking missile.

I think he's gotten some playing time. How has he looked?

Yea, he does look a little like SRV ... I wonder if he can pick it like him.
