The ACC race continues to get interesting as the season goes along. Four teams in the league remain undefeated in league play entering Week 10. Clemson, Miami, Pitt and SMU are unbeaten, but that’ll change by end of Saturday.
For the Mustangs, it was a narrow win over a Duke team that entered Week 9 at 6-1 overall. Despite six turnovers on offense, SMU somehow came away with a win and Lashlee was happy about that.
“We all have nights when we’re not at our best, and we found a way to win,” Lashlee said. “Any great season, any championship run, anything like that that a team’s ever been on, you’re gonna look back and have one or two games that you’re like, we probably shouldn’t have won that one, but we found a way to do it, and so that’s what tonight was for us.”
