The SMU Mustangs fell to 1-8 on the season against the No. 23 Temple Owls on the night of Nov. 6 at Ford Stadium, losing 60-40 in their annual Hats Off to Heroes game.
SMU won the coin toss and elected to receive but was forced to punt after five plays. Temple got the ball on their own 4-yard line and wasted no time, as Jager Gardner busted up the middle on the Owls’ second play for a 94-yard touchdown run, the longest in Temple history.
