DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU football team held its first fall practice on Thursday morning, Aug. 6, as the Mustangs began preparations for the 2015 campaign, the first under new head coach Chad Morris.

"I can't describe the level of excitement of our coaches, our staff and our players to be back out here," said Morris. "I've got my cold Red Bull and I'm ready to go!"

"We're excited," said quarterback Matt Davis. "We have a lot of energy. Everyone put in work over the summer and we're ready to get after it."

There are seven games on the SMU campus this fall. SMU opens the season on Friday, Sept. 4, when the Mustangs host Baylor in an ESPN-televised game, and then will host its Centennial Celebration and Homecoming on Sept. 26 against James Madison. SMU opens home league play on Oct. 3, hosting East Carolina. The "Boo-levard" returns in 2015, as SMU will host a home game on Halloween, Oct. 31, when Tulsa comes to Dallas. The match-up with the Golden Hurricane will also serve as Family Weekend. SMU will host its second Friday-night game of the year on Nov. 6 when Temple comes to Ford Stadium for an ESPN2-televised game, and SMU hosts Tulane for Senior Day on Nov. 21.
