The SMU Mustangs enter their first season in the ACC as one of the most talented teams in the league under first year head coach Rhett Lashlee. They are coming off an 11-3 season and return 14 starters total led by phenomenal quarterback Preston Stone. SMU finished last season with a point differential of 20.9 points per game behind a high-flying offense (38.7 PPG), and a stingy defense (17.8 OPP. PPG). Rhett Lashlee is no stranger to ACC football as he was Miami's offensive coordinator during the 2020 and 2021 seasons in which he had their offense as one of the best in the conference. ACC Digital Network Host Wes Bryant caught up with Coach Lashlee to discuss expectations in their first season, talent in the state of Texas, and the challenges that lie ahead.
