This was the case for Peruna, the black Shetland pony and mascot for SMU, who trotted onto the field Friday night during the Mustangs’ game against Navy and delivered a deuce, thus delaying things by about 15 minutes.
“Cleaning up the field near the 40-yard line, right after SMU scored the touchdown, they did bring the live pony mascot across the way,” ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Roy Philpott told analyst Andre Ware. “Just deducing what happened here, perhaps a little leftovers remained on the field of play, requiring some extra attention. And I do believe I have seen it all now.”
SMU has used Peruna as its mascot dating back 90 years, to 1932. The first one, a four-year-old pony donated by Arlington Downs race track owner T.E. Jones, made his debut for a game against Texas A&M.
