DALLAS (SMU) – The SMU football program, under the direction of first year Head Coach Sonny Dykes, opens practice Saturday for the 2018 campaign.

Heading into the season, Xavier Jones has been selected as a candidate for the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award, while Jordan Wyatt is a nominee for the AFCA Good Works Team and a member of the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List. James Proche (Biletnikoff), Braeden West (Paul Hornung) and Jamie Sackville (Ray Guy) have also received recognition on preseason watch lists.

SMU finished the 2017 season with seven wins and made its first bowl appearance since the 2012 season. The Mustangs were one of only two teams in the nation to finish with a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers. As a team, the Mustangs ranked seventh nationally in fourth-down conversion percentage (.700), while ranking in the top 15 in first down offense (312), scoring offense (37.8) and total offense (478.5).

Fall camp concludes Aug. 25, and the Mustangs open regular-season practices Aug. 28 ahead of the Sept. 1 season opener at North Texas. SMU returns to the Hilltop for a Friday night match-up with Metroplex rival TCU on Sept. 7. The Mustangs also host Houston Baptist, Navy, Cincinnati, Houston and Memphis at home, with games at Michigan, UCF, Tulane, Connecticut and Tulsa on the road.

As part of its on-going efforts to enhance the gameday experience, SMU has also announced a new menu of reduced-price concessions that will be available at select stands in Ford Stadium this fall. Highlights of this new menu include $3 hot dogs, nachos and pretzels, $2 sodas and waters and a $5 16 oz. beer.
