Poor SMU - they've lost to BYU in every game we've played, and 4 of those games were decided by 3 or fewer points.
1980 - BYU beat SMU on a last-second hail Mary to complete one of the biggest comebacks in CFB history. Final score: 46-45. I wonder how many times the old-timer SMU fans have had to endure watching that Jim McMahon throw.
1996 - BYU crushed SMU 31-3.
1997 - BYU beat SMU in overtime 19-16. That was a poor BYU team, but good enough to beat SMU in Dallas.
2022 - BYU beat SMU 24-23. On the final play of the game, BYU tackled the SMU quarterback 1 yard short of the endzone to prevent a 2-point conversion. BYU beat them with Soljay at QB - ouch!
2024 - BYU beat SMU 18-15 while holding SMU to 5 field goals and 2/5 redzone appearances.
