SMU scored big with a Dallas Jesuit commit last recruiting cycle in offensive lineman Branson Hickman. The Mustangs are hoping to strike gold again at Jesuit with offensive lineman Matt Craycraft.

The Fort Worth Nolan Catholic defensive end finally landed an SMU offer he'd been looking to get for months.

If you didn't watch, listen or follow Damon's Twitter updates, you missed a pretty exciting game. Here's a link to some of my pictures:

With the help of ProFootballFocus, Bryan Moss of TigerSportsReport.com looks at the passing chart of Shane Buechele. What side of the field does he favor? Does he have any holes in his game?

I personally think we will win the AAC and go to a New Year’s Day bowl game, in my unbiased opinion. Maybe I’m drinking the kool-aid, but I believe in Shane.

The best college football teams always have a great senior QB leading the team, and he will get the ball to Robertson and Rice plenty of times this year.

Katy Morton Ranch has a rising standout in defensive end David Hicks Jr., and SMU is the first FBS school to offer.

Congratulations to WR Tyler Page, who was officially named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy on Thursday.

Page has a 3.9 GPA and is studying finance. He's been named to the SMU Honor Roll with High Distinction, and he's a multitime AAC All-Academic Team member.

All candidates are nominated by their schools. Click here to read the release on Page from SMU Football.

The firepower with the SMU wide receiver group got one stronger on Wednesday. Arkansas transfer TQ Jackson announced that his NCAA waiver was approved.
