allPonies continues its series of previewing the Mustangs upcoming football opponents with a preview of BYU.
DALLAS — SMU coach Rhett Lashlee won’t struggle to find some motivation for the Mustangs third game of the 2024 season against BYU. His decision at the end of the 2022 New Mexico Bowl should provide plenty motivation.
Rather than kick the extra point and send the game to overtime, Lashlee decided to put the game on the line on a single play. It’s the type of decision that, when successful, makes a person look like a genius. But when it doesn’t, a lot of second-guessing takes place. Here’s an early look at the Cougars, who are playing their 100th football season, as we continue to preview the Mustangs’ opponents for the upcoming season.The biggest question surrounding BYU’s offense who will be the team’s starting quarterback when they line up against SMU? Jake Retzlaff started the final four games of last season for the Cougars, going 0-4 with a 50.4 completion percentage and throwing for 648 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
BYU’s top two returning players are defensive end Tyler Batty and cornerback Jakob Robinson, both of whom started all 12 games for BYU last year. Batty had 57 tackles , 5.5 sacks, eight quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Robinson had 59 tackles , four interceptions and seven pass breakups.
