SMU finished second in the Conference USA West Division in 2009 at 6-2, and were invited to their first bowl game since 1984. The Mustangs went on to beat Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl to finish up the 2009 season at 8-5 overall. This year the Mustangs enter into the third season under head coach June Jones, and with 15 starters back SMU will look to compete for the conference title in 2010. Here is a quick breakdown of what the Cougars will send to the field on both offense and defense this season, plus my thoughts on where they finish up the year in Conference USA.
Offense:
The Mustangs believe they will be even better on the offensive side of the ball in 2010, as they bring back sophomore starting quarterback Kyle Padron, who really played well as a freshman throwing for 1,922 yards with 10 touchdowns to just four interceptions. I look for the Mustangs to free up the offense for Padron this season, and I think we see his yards and touchdowns increase big time this season.
One reason Padron will likely be asked to throw it up more this season, is the fact that the Mustangs have to replace top running back from last year in Shawnbrey McNeal, who ran for 1,188 yards and 12 scores. Heading into the fall it looks as though the Mustangs are going to start freshman Darryl Fields, who is drawing comparisons to SMU great Eric Dickerson.
At wide receiver the Mustangs lose another big playmaker, in 2009 top receiver Emmanuel Sanders. They do however have three starters back that made some solid contributions last year, so I don't expect a huge drop off in production from this unit. Look for sophomore Darius Johnson to step in and fill the open void left by Samuels.
Looking at the offensive line, the Mustangs should be pretty solid up front, as they return four starters from last year, including two very solid tackles in juniors Kelvin Beachum and JT Brooks. Junior Kelly turner figures to be the new starter for the Mustangs, as he is projected to take over at the open right guard spot.
Defense:
SMU returns seven starters on the defensive side of ball this year, and they will look for much of the same improvements that were made last year, as the Mustangs allowed just under 28 points a game in 2009 after allowing just over 38 points a game in 2008. Up front in the Mustang's 3-4 scheme, junior Marcus Frazier and Taylor Thompson, who really played well last season, as they combined for 9.5 sacks. The Mustangs will have to make a change at nose tackle, and are expected to plug in the massive body of freshman Mike O'Guinn.
At linebacker the Mustangs look to be very solid with three starters back from last year. Senior Youri Yenga and sophomore Ja'Gared Davis are back at the two outside spots, while senior Pete Fleps returns in the middle. Sophomore Taylor Reed is projected to step in at the other inside spot after making the Conference USA All-Freshmen team in 2009.
The Mustangs biggest concern on this side of the ball will come at the four defensive back positions. SMU improved against the pass last year, but still gave up 230 yards a game. Junior free safety Chris Banjo and senior corner Sterling Moore are the two starters back, and heading into the fall it looks like junior corner Richard Crawford and junior strong safety Justin Sorrell will make their way into the starting lineup.
CUSA WEST Prediction - 2nd: I have the Mustangs finishing right behind Houston for the top spot in the West. The Mustangs will play Houston at home this season, but after getting throttled 38-15 last year, I don't think they are going to have what it takes to win that game. This is still a very good football team, and should be headed to their second straight bowl game.
