Aug 23 | Football
The SMU Mustangs held its final pre-season scrimmage Saturday night at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Ponies went through a controlled scrimmage that lasted an hour and a half. The scrimmage was SMU's final scrimmage preparation before the Aug. 30 season opener against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
Quarterback Richard Bartel completed three of four passes Saturday night for 32 yards, connecting with three different receivers in limited action. Running back Keylon Kincade rushed five times for 29 yards on the evening. The Mustangs' longest offensive play of the night was a 37 yard pass from true freshman quarterback Chris Phillips to fellow true freshman wideout Blake Warren.
The Mustangs spent much of the night working on special teams. SMU kickers connected on four of five field goals on the night, including two 47 yard bombs by both Chris McMurtray and Ryan Mentzel.
