Many SMU fans said talent alone, they should beat Tech.

We did an outstanding job covering their receivers. Through the whole game. The coverage made Hicks hold the ball longer than he normally had to and our line & LB's got good pressure on him. And that blitzing off the end was killer. Maybe we've finally figured out how to execute our defense.
I thought the first interceptions were simply because Hicks thought his receivers were so super and much better than our DBs. After the third one he had the deer in the headlights look. You could tell they didn't want to go forward with their passing game.
Amik Robertson is just always looking for an opportunity to make a big play. He is SUCH a weapon. I think his attitude and his play are contagious influences on the defense,

We played like there was nothing to lose instead of being overly cautious. I especially enjoyed the pressure we put on their qb and the ball-hawking by our db's.
I noticed a huge billboard in our hotel lobby promoting an upcoming baseball tournament at Dr Pepper stadium. Teams including California, Texas A&M, Baylor and LaTech. Seeing our emblem with the others is quite impressive!
