Aug 9 | Football
The SMU Mustangs held their annual preseason Media Day on Saturday, August 9, welcoming over 20 members of the Metroplex press to Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
Head Coach Phil Bennett and players Allan Adami, Richard Bartel, Brian Bischoff, Chris Cunningham, D.D. Lee, Robert Gilmore, Sterling Harris, Keylon Kincade and Jonas Rutledge met with reporters and photographers from WFAA-TV, KTVT-TV, KETK-TV, KESN-103.3 FM, KTCK-1310 AM, KRLD-1080 AM, WBAP-820 AM, KTRA-1190 AM, Associated Press, Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Park Cities People, Daily Campus, The Sportspage, PonyFans.com and MustangManiacs.com among others.
?I?m more comfortable this season,? Bennett said. ?After a year here, I?m more confident that we can become a top-25 program.?
?We had some deficiencies and some growing pains last season, but I knew we would come out of it with some hard work. We did and we won three of our last five games. I think our kids have learned how to finish games.?
?We?re going to have a more balanced offense and we?re focusing on stopping the big play defensively. We need to stay healthy, but we?re a better football team and we?re still working to improve.?
Practice continues Saturday night at 7 p.m., when the players practice for the first time in full pads. The session is closed to the public.
