SMU looking to bounce back at FBS newcomer Missouri State

After letting a potentially valuable victory slip away in the waning moments last week, SMU will try to regroup at Missouri State on Saturday afternoon.The Mustangs (1-1) took a 14-point lead over Baylor inside the final six minutes before suffering a painful 48-45 double-overtime loss.”For 3 1/2 quarters we were the better team,” SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. “And then we didn’t finish.”Now they will travel to take on Missouri State (1-1) in Springfield, Mo.The Mustangs fell out of the Top 25 in both polls this week after failing to close out Baylor. That was a big setback in their bid to return to the College Football Playoff bracket.”If we want to have a good football team, all our goals are still there,” Lashlee said. “This doesn’t take any goals off the table for us.”SMU’s Kevin Jennings has passed for 555 yards and five touchdowns in two games. But he has also thrown two interceptions and suffered four sacks.T.J. Harden (157 yards, three touchdowns) leads the ground game and Romello Brinson (11 catches, 247 yards, three touchdowns) is the top receiving target.
