Go Mustangs and Pony Up! F

or a young boy growing up in West Texas, few things got me more excited than a football game. Friday night promised excitement and was always the highlight of the week.

As I entered high school I had the privilege of playing for my hometown and never missed a game during my four years.

Jake Torres Although I lacked the physical talent to play on the collegiate level, my love for football remained as strong as ever as I entered my first year on the Hilltop.

Of my high school friends that went to college, most became members of the Aggie family, Longhorn nation or joined the Raider army. None of my friends, however, held a pride for their school that matched mine for the mighty Mustangs.

For those seniors that remember our first year on campus, the number "1" holds a very sad place in our memory. One represented the number of wins our football team earned that season, which seemed to stretch on and on throughout our fall semester.

Despite our team’s inability to record wins, our Mustangs continued to compete and perform every week for their university.

The number of fans at each game slowly diminished, but the team continued to play with pride and never gave up.

I speak from experience because I didn’t miss a home

COMMENTARY

game that entire season and even traveled to Houston and Fort Worth to watch the Mustangs compete against two of our bitter rivals.

Win or lose, we, the student body, knew we had a responsibility to support the football team composed of our friends and classmates.

The next year brought with it much anticipation about Mustang football. We had a new coach, who was known for reviving football programs and being able to record wins where other coaches could not.

The buzz around campus was that “June Cometh” and billboards across Dallas read that his “Run and Shoot is Locked and Loaded.”

Not only did he come with a new offensive and defensive philosophy, he also brought with him a completely new mindset into the locker rooms.

But, with the exception of a win over Texas State in the opening game, the season looked the same as the last.

Students began leaving games earlier and earlier or never even made it off the Boulevard.

People said that SMU football would never be successful and more and more people began to agree. Everyone except the football team seemed to accept the fact that losing would be the norm at SMU forever.

Then it happened.

As if someone had flipped a switch, the wins came and kept coming.

2009 saw the biggest turnaround in the nation as our 1-11 Mustangs became an 8-5 football team. All of a sudden those close games began ending with SMU on top instead of our

normal narrow defeat.

One of my favorite memories at SMU will always be standing at Aloha Stadium as the Mustangs hoisted the triumphant trophy of the Aloha Bowl. The players who had played with passion and heart were finally rewarded.

We seniors have one more season to watch the football team as undergraduates. We will never forget the pain of two consecutive 1-11 seasons.

Though painful seasons to watch, they did, however, give us the opportunity to fully appreciate the incredible feeling of a winning season.

This year, the Mustangs are poised to be one of the best teams in our conference and even the nation. Regardless of whether they win one game or 12, be present at as many games as possible. Support your fellow classmates and validate the work that they began in spring practices.

Our football team is not made up of professional athletes that are paid to perform. They are students with lives outside of football, and they suffer through papers and finals just like you or me.

Support them unconditionally; their passion for their sport and university never wavers neither should our support.

Jake Torres is a senior Spanish and English double major. He is also the Student Body President. Jake can be reached for comments or questions at sjtorres@smu.edu.

Padron on the SMU vs. UAB game

The Boulevard • Special Edition of The Daily Campus

The 2010 college football season has officially begun, and SMU sophomore QB Kyle Padron is ready to take on the reins and lead the Ponies to victory again this year.

Padron’s fame began when he stepped onto the field as a freshman, replacing an injured Bo Levi Mitchell during the SMU vs. Houston game on Oct. 24. The Mustangs were already eight games into the 2009 season.

Little did Padron know that wouldn’t see the bench again that year.

His performance made history on December 24, 2009, at the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl that ended the Mustangs 25-year bowl game drought.

It was the first bowl game that SMU played in since receiving the death penalty in 1987.

During the game, the young quarterback set a school record, passing 460 yards and scoring two touchdowns in SMU’s 45-10 win over Nevada. Following the triumph, Padron was awarded the title of MVP of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl and named to ESPN.com’s Non-AQ All-Bowl Team.

Padron’s success ranked him as the eighth-best among all players in the post-season by CollegeFootballNews.com.

He ended 2009 with a 159.9 passer rating that ranked him fifth in the nation.

That year, he completed 135 of 201 pass attempts for 1,922 yards and a total of 10 touchdowns. Padron finished with a 5-1 record as starter.

Following the season, SMU received attention from

several media outlets including mention in USA Today and AP polls.

During the offseason, Padron added 15 pounds to his 6’ 4” frame.

Between time spent in the weight room, throwing at practice, or watching film, the 19-year-old proved his dedication to the team.

“I feel my role MICHAEL DANSER/The Daily Campus has grown this year. I have more SMU Quarterback Kyle padron attempts a pass downfield to an open receiver of a leadership during play against Texas Tech Sunday, position. I am able Sept. 5. to be more vocal in the huddle and I’m more comfortable leading by example,” Padron told The Daily Campus.

The Mustangs opened the 2010 season in Lubbock, Texas, competing against Big 12 team Texas Tech. SMU was defeated 35-27 after an action-packed fourth quarter in which the Mustangs shut out the Red Raider offense, and were able

to add 13 points to the score.

It was a rough start for Padron. The sophomore threw 218 yards, two touchdown passes and a total of three interceptions.

“I felt pretty banged up after the game,” Padron said. “ I played a pretty bad game, and I know that this weekend I’ve got to step up and put my teammates in a good situation so we can be successful.”

Despite losing the first game of the season, Padron looks forward to this year’s competition, including the Mustangs upcoming game against the UAB Blazers.

“The turnover difference is very important. We have to take care of the football and not turn it over,” Padron said.

“It’s a field position battle.”

UAB is coming off a narrow loss to Florida Atlantic in its first game last Thursday, 32-31. The Blazers' new starting quarterback David Isabelle set a UAB single-game record of 214 rushing yards. “[Isabelle] is a different type of quarterback than I am.

We both have good qualities. He can run the ball, and from what I’ve heard he’s not a traditionally prolific quarterback.

He’s dangerous. As a team we are definitely going to have to come out and play a great game,” Padron says about the upcoming game this Saturday.

The Mustangs take on C-USA rival, the UAB Blazers on the ninth anniversary of 9/11. The game is set to have a patriotic theme in honor of the United States and SMU. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Side-by-side: Mustangs vs. Blazers

By EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

After a 35-27 loss against Texas Tech last week, SMU is anxious to get back on the field and prove why Mustang nation was so high on this team.

The Mustangs will take on the UAB Blazers in their home opener as both teams open Conference USA play at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Saturday Sept. 8 at 7 p.m.

In 2009, the Blazers finished with a 5-7 record overall and a 4-4 record in conference play.

Last week UAB suffered a 32-31 loss at the hands of Florida Atlantic.

Last year’s contest between SMU and UAB featured a high scoring affair that saw the Mustangs prevail 35-33.

Both teams have different signal callers under center this year but are still expected to light up the scoreboard.

Quarterback Kyle Padron started SMU’s last six games in 2009 and won 5 of those starts including a bowl game victory. Padron threw for 218 yards and 2 touchdowns against Texas Tech but also tossed 3 crucial interceptions.

SMU head coach June Jones said he was "a little disappointed" in Padron’s play against the Red Raiders.

Padron was able to find a new favorite target in junior Cole Beasley who caught five passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns against Texas Tech. Beasley is replacing SMU’s all time leading wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders who was selected in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

UAB’s new quarterback, sophomore David Isabelle, has big shoes to fill this year replacing Joe Webb who was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Minnesota

Vikings.

Isabelle impressed in his first career start against Florida Atlantic last week passing for 79 yards and one touchdown while also rushing for 214 yards and three touchdowns.

The Mustangs were able to find a ground game last week behind running back Zach Line who rushed for a career high 72 yards and one touchdown.

Defensively both teams struggled in their opening games surrendering over 30 points apiece.

UAB allowed 347 yards of total offense last week while SMU allowed 431. Both teams gave up most of those yards through the air.

The Blazers are led by defensive end Bryant Turner who was the team leader in sacks last year. Turner is picking up right where he left off last season as he recorded two sacks in last week’s loss.

The Mustangs are led by defensive back Chris Banjo who made his presence felt against the Red Raiders. Banjo had 86 tackles and 1 interception last year Special teams may play a big factor in this week’s game and if so SMU looks to have an advantage after stellar play against Texas Tech.

The Mustangs blocked two field goals, kick returner Darryl Fields had a 92-yard kickoff return, and kicker Matt Szymanski booted a 61-yard field goal.

Szymanski also nailed a 24-yard field goal earlier in the game and his 61-yard kick was a school record. Szymanski’s efforts earned him Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week.

Both teams are a hungry to garner their first victory of the year on Saturday night so expect a fierce conference battle under the bright stadium lights.
