- As a 47.5-point favorite, the SMU Mustangs football team aimed to shake off rust Saturday but lost starters Jordan Hudson and Alexander Kilgore early to injuries.
- SMU's defense swung momentum with two pick-sixes, including Ahmaad Moses' long interception return and Alexander Kilgore's 10-yard touchdown, while Romello Brinson caught a 63-yard touchdown and seven passes total.
- With the victory, the SMU Mustangs football team extended their home winning streak to 15 of the last 16 games, though Rhett Lashlee, SMU head coach, said X-rays for Jordan Hudson and Alexander Kilgore were negative but their availability is uncertain.
- SMU will play Baylor next Saturday, and Rhett Lashlee said the Mustangs must be sharper against a tougher opponent, while East Texas A&M Lions played its first game as a full Division I FCS member about 70 miles from SMU.
