SMU opens 2024 season with road trip to former WAC foe Nevada
It’s taken nearly a quarter century, but SMU has nearly completed its cross-country conference realignment journey.
The Wolfpack are coming off their second consecutive 2-10 season that led to dismissal of head coach Ken Wilson who was replaced by Texas co-defensive coordinator Jeff Choate. But will a new coach and overhauled roster be enough for Nevada to dampen SMU’s excitement? No matter who starts at quarterback, they’ll be throwing to a receiving corps who are playing their first season for the Wolfpack.Choate is a defensive-minded coach and he has his work cut out for him. Last season, the Wolfpack gave up an average of 442.7 yards per game and 33.4 points per game. The defense also lost two of its best defenders in safety Emany Johnson and Richard Toney , who combined for nearly 200 tackles last season.
