A sold out Gerald F. Ford Stadium saw the host SMU Mustangs rip 5 fumbles away from UAB returning 2 for touchdowns. Fans were treated to plenty of scoring on Saturday afternoon as SMU took at 45-31 win over UAB in the C-USA opener and 2010 Home opener. After being down 17-7 through just one quarter SMU's defense buckled down and the offense took control of the ball mounting not just one but two comebacks before collecting a game-sealing fumble recovery with just 50 seconds to play. Kyle Padron made it trough the game injury less as he racked up 355 yards through the air. On the negative side for SMU, they were held to -20 yards rushing. After the game head coach June Jones said, "We need to get better balance. It's something we can work on in practice. Kyle's completion percentage was hurt due to the lack of success we had on the ground, UAB did a good job of shutting us down at times." Next week Pac-10 foe Washington State comes to Ford Stadium. "We're excited to have a Pac-10 opponent come to our turf to play we had a great battle up at their place last year and were not gunna let this one get away" said Jones. Last year the Cougars won 30-27 in overtime in Pullman, WA.
