Live from Gerald J. Ford Stadium (FIRST HALF)!

Beautiful day here at Ford Stadium. Not a cloud in the sky and the Dallas skyline is visible in the distance. A few SMU players are playing catch on the sidelines, but no Texas State players are out yet. Hopefully when the Bobcats do come out, they are ready to play.

Check back in for information and updates!

• Both teams are on the field for warm-ups. Thirty-eight minutes until game time. A good amount of Texas State fans are already here with the Loud Crowd right up front.
• Not a big crowd at all for SMU, even though its early. Seems like more Texas State fans than anything.
  
• The Mustangs won the toss and will receive the kick.
• TOUCHDOWN SMU. 11:18 LEFT IN THE FIRST QUARTER. B.L. MITCHELL TO EMMANUEL SANDERS. 7-0 MUSTANGS.
• SMU looked to move the ball effortlessly against Texas State's defense. The Mustangs never had a third down.
  
• Both teams opened with run plays, each went for 7 yards.
• Stan Zwinggi crushed on an option play SMU read perfectly. Zwinggi fumbles, the Mustangs recover.
• SMU kicker misses a 46-yard FG. Still 7-0 SMU.
• Texas State burns its first timeout with 5:33 left in the first quarter. The question is WHY?
• Bradley George's toss to Karrington Bush glances off Bush's shoulder pads - SMU takes over. Second turnover of the day for Texas State, both fumbles.
• George looks out of sync with the offense. A missed pitch on the option, now an inaccurate toss.

• June Jones is having his way with the Texas State secondary.

• TOUCHDOWN SMU. 11:45 LEFT IN THE FIRST QUARTER. B.L. MITCHELL TO SANDERS. 21-0 MUSTANGS.
