WATCH: SMU OC Casey Woods high on offense's progression

SMU offensive coordinator Casey Woods met with the media after Fan Day to review how fall camp is going so far for the Mustangs. Check out the full interview below with Woods, who is high on the talent the Mustangs have.
“We know the ability that we have. We know that we play in a great conference,” Woods said. “We know we have a enormous game with Louisiana Tech rolling in here then we got two road games in the Big 12 in the month of September. Whatever expectations are laid out there, there’s a reality of that facing us in September. We can’t get caught up in the noise and things that are that. Really gotta focus on Louisiana Tech and that September schedule that’s coming at us.”
Mustangs ready for Year 2 of Lashlee era at SMU
The Mustangs are gearing up for the second season under Lashlee’s direction. SMU finished 7-6 in 2023, appearing in the New Mexico Bowl against BYU. Lashlee is the first SMU coach to lead the team to a bowl appearance in his first season since the 1980s.
With quarterback Preston Stone set to start for the first time in his career, SMU should be potent once again on offense. Aided by 25 transfers, the defense was revamped in the offseason to help Scott Symons’ elevate his unit to where the Mustangs need to be.
