SMU has its hands full with Cincinnati

Luke Fickell’s 2022 Bearcats come into Ford Stadium on Saturday looking to make it four straight over the Mustangs. SMU last won in 2017 when Chad Morris was at the helm of the program. Since then, Fickell’s taken the Bearcats to the College Football Playoff last season.

“Guys were excited to get that done on Friday night and excited to play the team that set the benchmark in our league the last couple years. Had a good couple days so far,” SMU head coach Lashlee said on Wednesday. “On defense, they’re really, really good. They get in your face. They cover you. I think they’re one of the best in the country if not the best in the country in tackles for loss.

“Offensively, they’re one of the top offenses in our league again. They can really run the football. They got big-time wideouts, tight ends and a really good quarterback. Like everybody who plays them, we got our work cut out for us.”
