SMU knocked off Tulane on the road to move to 4-4. Here are five thoughts from the win.
1. What it means -- It wasn't pretty but SMU survived on the road against Tulane and kept the momentum going with a 35-31 victory. Chad Morris has continued to preach 'responding.' And SMU certainly responded on Saturday. After going up 21-10 at halftime, the Mustangs collapsed and fell behind by 10 points in the fourth quarter. But the offense, after struggling the entire third quarter, got going, and the defense made some key stops.
