SMU QB Preston Stone leaves Navy game with injury
SMU quarterback Preston Stone left the Navy game with a left leg injury and was carted off as the Mustangs took a 49-7 lead over the Midshipmen. Stone was scrambling around and was crunched in the backfield with the score 42-7 in the 1st half.
Head coach Rhett Lashlee said postgame he hadn’t talked to doctors about Stone’s status after the 59-14 win over Navy. SMU improved to 10-2 overall with the win.
Stone left the game with a 14-of-19 line for an impressive 322 yards and three touchdowns. The Mustangs were well on their way to playing Tulane in the AAC Championship Game in a week in New Orleans.
His performance was a dominant one as he amassed the best single-quarter passing yardage performance of this season’s FBS college football season.
