The league leading SMU Mustangs gave Tulsa a good old fashioned butt whooping after completely destroying Tulsa 69-10 Saturday afternoon in front of an SMU Homecoming crowd of 20,800 fans at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.<br /><br />The Mustangs scored on all but one of its first-half possessions to take a 52-3 lead into halftime. It was the most points given up by a Tulsa team since a 48-0 halftime deficit against Houston in an 82-28 loss in 1988. Tulsa’s three first half points came on kicker Chase Meyer’s 35 yard field goal to make the score 14-3 in the first quarter.<br />SMU ended the game with 638 yards, while Tulsa had 247 yards of total offense.<br /><br />Mustangs quarterback Preston Stone threw for 15 of 20 for 371 yards and three touchdowns. This was a new career high for Stone.<br /><br />SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee has won by 114 points in the last two games and he stated in press conference that, “I was speechless. I was speechless the last game as well but these guys are doing a great job but now that the ball is rolling we need to keep the momentum going.”<br /><br />SMU will hit the road to take on Rice University next Saturday, November 4th.
