SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee, second from left, talks with quarterback Tanner Mordecal, left, during a timeout in the first half of an NCAA college football game against Maryland, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022, in College Park, Md.COLLEGE PARK — SMU defensive coordinator Scott Symons hasn’t escaped the label as an up-and-coming coach yet. He’s still young in the eyes of those in the profession, and yet, his words exude wisdom.“A game plan is as only good as the first quarter,” he said.

SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai threw early and often, completing 29 of 54 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Mordecai also had a fumble in the red zone. It was one of three SMU drives that ended inside Maryland’s 15-yard line without any points.“I think Ray Charles could see he was down,” Lashlee said, “but you have to hold onto the football. You’ve got to hold onto the football. You allowed the ground to cause a fumble.

Rice continued his dominant season, eclipsing 100 yards receiving for the third-straight game. He finished with 11 catches for 193 yards. That doesn’t include a handful of defensive penalties he drew in the process. He was targeted 20 times. It wasn’t that SMU abandoned the run game — they ran the ball 42 times, including 19 carries from Tre Siggers for 87 yards. The problem was that SMU averaged 3.59 yards per carry collectively.

Las Vegas bet there would be a shootout between the two teams. And while there were plenty of offensive highlights, there were also plenty of moments where both teams shot themselves in their respective feet.Maryland’s penalty production was lopsided, but the mistakes – on level of importance – seemed to match each other through the first three quarters. A difference had to be discovered, and once Maryland found it, they rarely strayed away from it.
