FOOTBALL PREVIEW
Line-by-line: Mustangs vs. Cougars By JORDAN JENNINGS Sports Editor jjennings@smu.edu
The clock is ticking as the SMU Mustangs prepare to take on the Washington State Cougars at Ford Stadium Saturday afternoon. It has been almost a year since the Cougars devoured the Mustangs 30-27 last year at Martin Stadium. Washington State came back 17 points in the third quarter, leaving it up to their kicker, Nico Grasu to boot a field goal for the win in overtime. It was the only win for the Cougars that season, compared to the Ponies who overcame the loss and went on to win eight games in 2009, including the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. The Mustangs are currently 23-point favorites to win. Both teams are coming off their first wins of the 2010 season in games played last Saturday. Washington State defeated Montana State on Sept. 11,
23-22 thanks to Grasu’s 18-yard field goal kicked just two minutes before the end of the fourth quarter. It was the Cougar’s first win since they beat SMU last year. The same day, SMU clobbered UAB 28-7 in their first conference game of the year. SMU quarterback Kyle Padron will meet WSU’s Jeff Tuel for the first time on the field this Saturday. Tuel was 18 of 29 for 204 yards for the Cougars win over Montana State. Padron was 18 of 33 for 145 yards against UAB. As a freshman last season, Tuel finished the year throwing for 789 yards and six touchdowns. Padron completed 1,922 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Mustangs and the Cougars were both upset in the their non-conference season openers. Washington State was creamed by Oklahoma State on Sept. 4. at Boone Pickens Stadium, losing 65-17. Tuel completed only 14 of 29 passes and threw a total of 212 yards, with one touchdown. Sept. 5, just a day after Washington
State’s loss, Texas Tech beat SMU 3527 at Jones AT&T Stadium. Padron completed 21 of 28 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns. In both games it came down to the teams kickers. Cougar kicker, Grasu and Mustang kicker Matt Szmanski hold the two longest field goals in NCAA FBS so far this season. Grasu connected on a 56-yard field goal in the second quarter against OSU, the sixth longest field goal kick in Washington State history. At Tech, Szmanski booted a 61-yard field goal, his career best. On Saturday, SMU Head Coach June Jone’s run and shoot style offense will take on Washington State coach Paul Wulff ’s scout style offense. It is the coaches third season with their respective teams. The CBS- televised game is set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. at Gerald J. Ford Stadium, where the C-USA Mustangs will take on the Pack 10 Cougars.

DARIUS JOHNSON
WR • Missouri City, TX
RB • Oxford, MI Initially recruited to play linebacker, Line has stepped up as SMU’s feature running back. The sophomore scored seven touchdowns in 2009 and was considered a short yardage back. Line has already eclipsed last year's rushing total, proving that he is more than just a big back. Last week vs. UAB, Line rushed for a career high 122 yards and two touchdowns.
CHRIS BANJO
DB • Sugar Land, TX
Johnson is developing into one of SMU’s most explosive playmakers on offense. Last year, he was named to the Conference USA All Freshman Team. In the opener vs. Texas Tech Johnson nabbed an amazing one handed catch which was featured on Sportscenter’s top 10 plays. Last week vs. UAB, Johnson led the Mustangs in receiving with 7 receptions for 45 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Banjo is considered to be a defensive stalwart and a leader in the Mustang secondary. Last Year, he was second on the team with 86 tackles and also had one interception along with three forced fumbles. Banjo is the first SMU player to be awarded the No. 23 in honor of SMU's legendary Jerry LeVias, the player who broke the color barrier in the defunct Southwest Conference. Last week vs. UAB, he recorded 6 tackles including 5 solos.

MONTGOMERY
RB • Rancho Cordova, CA
QB • Fresno, CA Last season, Tuel found success after being inserted as the starting quarterback midway through the season.

Last week vs. Montana St., Tuel passed for 204 yards and two touchdowns.
MYRON BECK
LB • Seattle, WA
Montgomery is looking for revenge after SMU cut his season short last year in the third game of the season when a hit on his leg caused compartment syndrome. Despite the injury, the University of California transfer recorded the only 100yard rushing game by a Cougar in 2009. Last week vs. Montana St., Montgomery rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown.
Last week vs. Montana St., Beck registered a career-high 10 tackles including five solos and one interception. In 2009, he recorded 41 tackles and two interceptions including one he returned 67 yards for a touchdown against SMU.

Go M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S go
The Daily Campus takes a closer look at the SMU Spirit Team By JORDAN JENNINGS Sports Editor jjennings@smu.edu
The Boulevard • Special Edition of The Daily Campus
“ 5-4-3-2 give a cheer for SMU, M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S. Go Stangs go,” Briana Darensburg shouts from the sidelines of Ford Stadium, along with 34 other SMU cheerleaders who cheer for the Mustangs. Darensburg is one of the 14 members to join the SMU Spirit Team’s new Blue Cheer Team this year. The Spirit Team now includes two separate cheer teams thanks to new coach Brandy McCollum. McCullom, a Texas native, recently returned to her home state after four years of helping her husband coach cheerleading at Oklahoma State, McCollum's alma mater. It has been four weeks since McCollum has been on the Hilltop and already she says she feels great. She is responsible for coaching both the Red and Blue teams at SMU. “ I’m very picky about how they perform, the way they look and the things they do. I expect a lot, and so far its going ok,” McColllum says about her role at SMU. McCullom must be doing something right; she has already received a lot of positive feedback. “The new coach is very organized, it’s awesome,” says junior accounting major and Red team member Morgan McVicker. “She likes things a certain way, which is great because its makes us push hard, and if we mess up we fix it. We

are starting to look more like a collegiate team.” The Spirit Team means business, and with the addition of a new team this year there is added competition. The teams are organized based on talent. The new Blue team allows people with a passion for cheering to show their spirit at the sidelines of home football games, as well as at some home volleyball matches and basketball games. While the blue team only practices two days a week, the red team practices at least three times a week for a total of six hours or more. “We all lead by example,” says junior Red team member Ryan Ross. “When people see our positive attitudes its raises their moral and spirit. We are here to support the athletes, and to provide extra entertainment. It gives us an opportunity to show off our athleticism skills as well.” Of the 18 women and three men on the small coed Red team, all can successfully land a round off handspring back tuck at the least and each member has a good knowledge of overall cheer leading. In addition to cheering all Mustang home football and basketball games, the team also travels to some away games, and competes in the National Cheerleaders Association Championship every spring. SMU is the birthplace of modern cheer leading. Former SMU alumni cheerleader Lawrence Herkimer, who originated the pom-pom, spirit stick and the Herkie jump, founded the NCA. Last year the SMU cheer leading team placed third at NCA, adding to their two second place wins in 2008 and 2009. This April, the Red team will compete in the NCA Daytona Beach International Championship. Until then, the spirited team will continue to practice and decorate the SMU sidelines, cheering on the Mustangs full heartedly. With football season just kicking off, the cheer squads are ready to show off their skills. And how does the team handle the fall Texas heat? "We make sure to stay hydrated. It's important to drink water whenever we get a break," says Darensburg. Despite temperatures in the nineties last weekend, the SMU cheerleaders appeared flawless with big grins on their faces, cheering proudly and loudly adding volume to the fans in the bleachers. Look for the Spirit Team at SMU's next football game this Saturday as the Mustangs take on the Washington State Cougars, and the cheerleaders take on the sidelines. .

SCENE ON THE BOULEVARD Mustang fans filled the Boulevard on Saturday Sept. 11 to cheer on the football team as they played the UAB Blazers. The Boulevard was filled with alumni, students and fans of all ages as they barbecued, reminisced and revelled in that Pony spirit. The fans all gathered at Ford Stadium that night to watch a stunning defeat of the Blazers in a 28-7 win for the Mustangs. Last week's game was SMU's first home game and first Boulevard of the season. Mustang fans held true to the spirit required to kick off the Mustang football team in what promises to be one of the most exciting football seasons in SMU's history. The Daily Campus will feature photos from the previous week's Boulevard in every edition of The Boulevard. Readers are encouraged to submit their own photos for conisderation to dc@smu.edu. For a sneak peak at this week's photos, visit smudailycampus. com.
