SMU Mustangs: CFN College Football Preview 2021

[Jonnyeagle]

Preston Stone was a huge recruit who might push for the gig right away, sophomore Derek Green is coming off a strong spring, and Oklahoma transfer Tanner Mordecai could take the job and run away with it. It’s a good situation, but it’ll take a little more time.

– The receiving corps is terrific. All-star tight end Kylen Granson is done, but the Mustangs are bringing in three outstanding options in the transfer portal, starting with Grant Calcaterra who caught 41 passes and scored nine times at Oklahoma.

The top three wide receivers are back, led by top target Rashee Rice coming off a 48-catch season, and with Reggie Roberson averaging close to 22 yards per grab.

– The passing game might be splashy, but the running backs put up huge numbers in this attack. Ulysses Bentley has 1,000-yard back potential and should push for double-digit touchdowns again – he ran for 11 last season – but he won’t carry the load alone with Tre Siggers coming in from North Texas.

From what I’ve been told by some friends that are big SMU people, Stone has been impressive and the offense is still really good.

This will be a good measurement of the talent we have early in the season.

At least we aren’t facing buchele!

I expect a loss but also expect us to compete and not get blown out again.

[UNTexas]

Is this our first or second game?

[97and03]

Second

Honest to goodness, I'm tired of blowouts to anyone.  We pay too much for that bs.  Been a fan since 1999 and, year in and year out, I can always count on getting worked up for a handful of games then getting kicked in the nuts for nearly every single one of them.

The gods rarely ever smile favorably on Mean Green Nation.

These guys should be really good again. Tons of offensive skill and Leavitt at DC.

Still expecting the transfer from OU, Mordecai, to start over Stone this year

No question. Having solid experience in the best QB system in the country at Oklahoma is a heck of a lot different than hype from high school.

The first question is, why do you have friends that are big SMU people?

I would be shocked if Stone starts over Mordecai.

How much eligibility does Mordecai have left?

With today's transfer portal world I wonder how long Stone stays if he cannot beat out Mordecai?

[meangreen11]

I think Stone is over rated but time will tell.

It's a concern.  Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

The are one of our opponents this season and pretty much every season.  Think of it like a scouting report.

[southsideguy]

Doesn't matter who is QB at SMUT they light us up every year. We are the coming out party for new abs it seems.
