Things have gotten chippy in the SMU vs. Nevada game on Saturday night. First, Mustangs receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jordan-hudson-145021/">Jordan Hudson</a> slapped a Nevada player on the helmet, which got him drilled by another Wolfpack player. And a scuffle ensued between both teams. Then in the second half, in one of the weirdest penalties of the game, SMU corner <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/brandon-crossley-12373/">Brandon Crossley</a> was ejected for spitting on a Nevada player.



The cameras completely missed it, so there isn’t any video. SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee was livid for the decision to eject Crossley, and he argued with officials for a number of minutes. It didn’t change their minds at all.

The penalty was absolutely massive, because it extended the Nevada drive on fourth down. The Wolfpack ended up driving all the way down the field, and scoring a touchdown, extending their lead to 24-13 late in the third quarter on Saturday.



The Nevada defense was giving the SMU offense all kinds of problems in the first half, forcing an interception from <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/preston-stone-96881/">Preston Stone</a> (he nearly threw two others). <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kevin-jennings-149795/">Kevin Jennings</a> came in for the Mustangs and engineered some drives. Both quarterbacks were switched in and out of the game for much of the first half. With 4:00 left in the second quarter, the game was tied at 10-10.

The problems weren’t just on the offense in the first half, the SMU secondary left a Nevada receiver completely wide open deep down the field on a play. And there was also a botched snap on a punt, which gave the Wolfpack great field advantage, allowing them to punch it in for the 7-0 lead on the Mustangs.



There were also numerous penalties for SMU throughout the first half.



Nevada had over 100 rushing yards in the first half. Quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/brendon-lewis-13829/">Brendon Lewis</a> had over 100 all-purpose yards and two total touchdowns. The Mustangs simply couldn’t find any answer to stop him. And the Wolfpack took a 17-10 lead with less than 10 seconds left in the first half.
