The SMU Mustangs‘ Cinderella story came to an abrupt, quick ending during their visit to the Penn State Nittany Lions. A disastrous first half by the Mustangs was too much to overcome for Rhett Lashlee’s team, as they fell 38-10 to Penn State and bid their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> season farewell.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/SMU">Mustangs</a> trailed 28-0 at the half, and despite what Lashlee could have told his players to rally a comeback at Beaver Stadium, the deficit was ultimately too big to revert. 



The offensive performance from the Mustangs was embarrassing. Quarterback Kevin Jennings struggled tremendously against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/penn-state">Penn State’s</a> defense, as he threw three interceptions (all during the first half) and two were returned for defensive touchdowns. 



SMU knew they’d be walking into a hostile environment in the home of the Nittany Lions, but they couldn’t get their footing on the ground. However, head coach Rhett Lashlee doesn’t believe his team’s shortcomings were caused by one of the rowdiest home crowds in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>.

“We got what we expected,” Lashlee said, via On3. “I don’t think we burned time-outs because of the crowd per se, but I thought 95% of the game we handled the crowd great. First half we didn’t have any issues. It was that third quarter we got down on the endzone where the student section was…The crowd was definitely a factor there, and, you know, it showed.“

<h2>Drew Allar makes bold statement on critics</h2>



In the 38-24 triumph over SMU, Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar had a quiet outing—neither spectacular nor disappointing. Allar finished the game with 13 completions out of 22 pass attempts, for 127 passing yards with no touchdowns. While many believe Allar was bailed by the dominant defensive performance, Penn State’s QB has made it clear he isn’t listening to the outside noise.



“I don’t care what anybody says about me or my team or my coach,” Allar said after the game, as quoted by Tyler Donohue on X. “At the end of the day, our process is our process. The only opinions that matter are the ones in the Lasch building. Me personally, I don’t care what anybody says about me from the outside.“



<h2>Beau Pribula transfers to Missouri</h2>



Although Beau Pribula stated his intent to stay with the Nittany Lions during their CFP journey, due to the transfer portal’s restrictions, time was ticking for the backup quarterback in Penn State. Thus, he had to make the difficult decision of moving on from the program, in hopes of landing somewhere he could become the QB1.

The Penn State Nittany Lions‘ journey in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">NCAAF</a> continues to progress strongly, especially after their resounding victory over the SMU Mustangs at Beaver Stadium. Drew Allar was the one who led the team to another win, though despite this, he couldn’t avoid criticism for his performance. However, the quarterback responded with poise to those who were displeased with his play.


 


“I don’t care what anybody says about me or my team or my coach,” Allar said after the game, as quoted by Tyler Donohue on X (formerly Twitter). “At the end of the day, our process is our process. The only opinions that matter are the ones in the Lasch building.”



He also added: “Me personally, I don’t care what anybody says about me from the outside. … I saw a quote, like, ‘Why would you take criticism from someone that you would never take advice from?’ And that kind of sticks for me.”



Additionally, Allar addressed the criticism he received, even extending to head coach James Franklin: “Coach Franklin gets a lot of criticism that’s undeserved,” Allar said. “Winning his 100th game is special, and to have it on a stage like the playoffs, at home in Beaver Stadium, is truly special.”

After the commanding 38-10 victory over the SMU Mustangs, Franklin’s team earned the right to compete in the CFP’s next round, where they will face the Boise State Broncos, led by Ashton Jeanty, next Saturday December 31rd in Glendale, Arizona.

<h2>James Franklin shared his reflection on the victory over SMU</h2>



Without a doubt, the resounding victory of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/penn-state">Nittany Lions</a> over the Mustangs is even more impressive when considering the level at which Franklin’s team approached the game. Once the victory was secured, the coach spoke with the press and shared his thoughts on the match.


 


“I want them to experience what it’s like to win a Big 10 championship and play in that type of game. In that stadium, in that environment,” Franklin said. “Obviously, you know, talk about battling in the country to try and either get a BYE in week one or get a home game. We were able to do that. To watch Saul leaving the field today, he was taking a moment in his last game at Beaver Stadium. He’s played here for nine, ten, eleven years, however long he’s been here,” the HC stated per The Daily Collegian’s Lyle Alenstein.



Additionally, the coach commented on Sal Wormley’s exit from the field: “He didn’t want to leave the field. Not an emotional guy. He’s emotional. It’s emotional for all of us. A lot of college coaches I saw this week talking about this is a four-game season; it’s not. It’s a one-game season with an average of 65 plays on offense, 65 plays on defense, and 20 plays on special teams. And how you value those reps how you value those reps, and how you prepare for those reps. We give you an opportunity to play again. We’re a one-game season, and we just extended our season one more game, 65 more plays,” Franklin concluded.

<h2>The defense was the key to the game</h2>



Franklin praised his team’s defensive performance, highlighting how they dominated and controlled the tempo, preventing the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/smu">SMU Mustangs</a> from gaining any momentum.



In statements to 247 Sports’ Tyler Donohue, the head coach, with a brief and concise phrase, reflected what the work of his defense meant in this game: “Maybe the best performance on the defensive side of the ball that I’ve seen in a half,” Franklin said.

In a dramatic finish to the ACC Championship, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/smu">SMU</a> fell short against Clemson, losing 34-31 after a late field goal. Despite the heartbreak, SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee delivered an impassioned plea during his postgame press conference, asserting that excluding his team from the College Football Playoff (CFP) would be a grave injustice.



Lashlee emphasized that SMU’s performance throughout the season, including their perfect 8-0 record in conference play, warrants a spot in the playoffs. “It’d be criminal if we’re not in,” Lashlee said. “It would be wrong on so many levels—not just for our team but for what college football stands for. We basically just played a playoff game out there and competed at a high level.”



SMU’s resume speaks for itself: an 11-2 overall record, including two wins against ranked opponents (No. 22 Louisville and No. 18 Pittsburgh), and a dominant conference campaign in the ACC. Their only losses came against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/clemson">Clemson</a> in the championship game and a non-conference defeat to BYU early in the season. Lashlee believes these achievements align with the principles laid out by the CFP Committee.



“What we’ve been told is that an undefeated Power Five champion would make it. We went 8-0 in one of the top three conferences in the country,” Lashlee continued. “We could have not shown up tonight and still been in according to the rankings. But we did show up. We competed. If they leave us out, it would set a bad precedent and break all the principles we’ve been told to follow.”

<h2>Lashlee Praises His Team’s Resolve</h2>



Despite the loss, Lashlee expressed immense pride in his team’s resilience, particularly after overcoming a disastrous first quarter that left them trailing 21-7. “Our guys showed championship makeup,” Lashlee said. “They battled back, tied the game with 16 seconds left, and showed everyone why they deserve to be in the playoffs.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/ncaaf-news-dabo-swinney-sends-message-to-cfp-committee-about-smu-after-acc-title-win"></div>


<h2>Faith in the CFP System Shaken</h2>



Lashlee also revealed that his players are grappling with doubts about the fairness of the CFP selection process. “Their faith in the system is shaken right now,” he admitted. “They’re wondering if the right thing will be done or if the fix is in. It’s tough because they’ve done everything they were supposed to do.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dabo-swinney">Dabo Swinney</a> and the Clemson Tigers captured another ACC Championship, this time defeating SMU in a thrilling game. The Mustangs pushed hard to force overtime, but the Tigers held on, escaping with the win thanks to a clutch field goal.



In his first remarks after the victory, Swinney praised SMU, calling them a playoff-caliber team and stating, “Listen, that’s a playoff football team [SMU], they better be in the playoffs.” It’s now up to the CFP Committee to decide their fate.



The Tigers were dominant in the first half, heading into the break with a 24-7 lead. However, the Mustangs mounted a spectacular comeback, scoring 24 points across the third and fourth quarters. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/clemson">Clemson</a>’s offense managed just 10 points in the second half. Reflecting on the game, Swinney said, “What a comeback by those guys.”



Despite the close finish, Swinney expressed pride in his team and showed gratitude following Nolan Hauser’s game-winning field goal. The head coach said, “I’m proud of our guys.

BYU made an amazing final run to clinch bowl elegibility with a 7-5 record. The Cougars were on the verge of failure after four consecutive losses mid-season. Then, BYU came back beating Boise State, Utah Tech and Stanford. BYUhave lost two of their last three bowl appearances, but they lead 3-0 the all-time series with SMU. QB Jaren Hall is questionable with an ankle injury and that could be huge for the outcome of this matchup. The Brigham Young Cougars record in bowl games is 16-22-1.
In the final game of the regular season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/College-Football-Playoff-2023-Which-teams-will-play-for-the-national-championship-20221212-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SMU</a> won a 34-31 thriller against Memphis to post a 7-5 record. Even though the Mustangs had crushing defeats against then ranked-teams like Cincinnati or Tulane, they managed to accumulate five victoriesin their last seven games. SMU averaged 38 points on offense and that’s why many experts predict this will be a high-scoring battle. WRRashee Rice, a starduring the season and a big <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/8-promising-college-football-players-that-failed-in-the-nfl-20220705-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> prospect, is out (toe injury).

SMU arrive to this bout with an improved level of confidence after snapping a three-loss streak against Navy last Friday. That 40-34 exciting win had quarterback Tanner Mordecai shining bright to carry his team to a very important home victory. The signal-caller finished with 20 of 27 in pass completions for 336 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions. But that was not it, since he also got 74 yards on the ground thanks largely to a 60-yard touchdown run. Mordecai will need to bring his A-game yet again to take down the Bearcats.
Cincinnati will have the opportunity to break some records coming off their bye week. They are one win away from tying the mark for most consecutive overall victories against AAC opponents at 19. The other huge milestone that could take place is Luke Fickell breaking the tie he has at 53 with Rick Minter as the winningest head coach in UC’s history. As for the current state of the team, the 5-1 Bearcats get in perfect shape after five wins in a row.
