The numbers that mattered in SMU's surprising, emphatic, 43-10 Hawaii Bowl victory over Fresno State.

- Start fast
- Stop 'em when they do get going.
- Make your turnovers count
- Win third down
- Don't just exploit your matchup advantages, define your game by them

Great find and good rundown of the game. I think he did miss one key to victory. Our front 7 eliminated the 'duel' threat passing and running offense of Fresno. We held Fresno to -16 yards rushing. Their great running back had a mere 22 yards. WE forced them out of their comfort zone and in to a one dimensional team. Thus, of front 3 could tee off and rush since the run game was eliminated.

One last one...DOMINATE! That was impressive! HUNT made himself a pile of future money last evening.
