Sportsman of the Week Ending 11/3/2024


The college football season is reaching a boil with the playoff picture becoming more clear week by week and undefeated teams falling by the wayside.  In one of the most intriguing matchups of the weekend, the Southern Methodist Mustangs are showing the ACC that they were a worthy add in a huge defeat of the previously undefeated Pittsburgh Panthers in one of two ranked matchups on the weekend.  The Ponies were led by a Pony express vintage effort by running back Brashard Smith who thrashed the Panthers defense for 161 yards on 23 carries and 2 TDs.  The senior tailback added a third TD on a pass (21 yards there as he tickled 200 total).  Smith has reached 100+ yards now 5 times, is averaging 6.5 yards per carry, and is near 1000 rushing yards total.  SMU is in position for a playoff berth and even a bye if they win the ACC.  Brashard Smith is a worthy Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
