SMU Faces Tough FCS Test Against UC Davis | SMU Mustang Football News

SMU Mustangs return home for a high-stakes season opener against the explosive UC Davis Aggies, who bring playoff pedigree and two wins to start the year. Despite a gritty road win over Florida State, SMU’s defense must step up after giving up nearly 200 rushing yards — while facing an Aggie offense averaging over 450 yards and 30 points per game. Quarterback Treynor Cleeland torches defenses with 580+ passing yards and seven TDs, aided by star receiver Samuel Gbatu Jr., while Jordan Fisher and Matteo Perez dominate on the ground. Coach Rhett Lashlee isn’t taking this lightly — he’s tipping his cap to UC Davis’ winning culture and demanding his team be sharp from snap one. Can SMU’s explosive offense, led by Kevin Jennings’ career day, overcome the short week and deliver another statement win?
