The 2012-2013 SMU Mustangs capped an under whelming season with a huge underdog win against the Fresno State Bulldogs in the Sheraton Hawai’i bowl. In a season that saw highs: winning bowl eligibility from perennial Conference USA contenders Tulsa, and lows: losing to basement dwellers Tulane and Rice, the Mustangs boarded the plane to play for a chance at a winning season. The Mustangs, who were led by the ever-reliable defense, which scored 16 points of its own, decimated the Bulldogs in a 43-10 whipping of the Western Athletic Conference team. Margus Hunt led the defensemaking quick work of both Fresno State’s offensive line and quarterback, Derek Carr. Hunt sacked Carr three times, forced two fumbles and a safety. His performance on the field in the game solidified his ranking as the fifth-best available defensive end in the upcoming NFL draft. SMU linebacker Taylor Reed and defensive back Hayden Greenbauer returned interceptions for touchdowns. Reed also recovered a fumble. At halftime the Mustangs were already leading 22-0. Recent arrival to the program and highly-touted high school recruit Garrett Gilbert had a long touchdown run early in the game, but also threw for two interceptions on the day. While the SMU offense was not stellar, it performed well enough to earn a victory. The bowl win marks head football coach June Jones’ fourth postseason appearance in a row. It also improves his bowl record with SMU to 3-1. For SMU, the bowl win is another milestone in the return to dominance by a team that was once haunted by the so-called “death penalty”. Imposed by the NCAA, the sanctions eliminated the school’s football program and led to more than twenty years in obscurity as a consistent loser. SMU football took a step forward in replacing the 20122013 rushing phenom Zach Line with a highly touted recruit, Traylon Shead. Having played at both the University of Texas at

Austin, and a stint more recently at Navarro Junior College, Shead was rated as the third best available running back in Texas by 247sports.com. Shead will be looked to fill the void left with the graduation of standout Zach Line, who broke many of Eric Dickerson’s records. The numbers were not incredible in Line’s last game as a Mustang as he rushed for less than 100 yards. However his overall performance at SMU will be one that Shead will have to mimic if the Mustangs wish to succeed in the Big East. Line posted 1000+ seasons running the ball in a offensive system that handily favors passing the ball. Shead will also have to duplicate the 11.75 touchdowns that Line provided the Mustangs on a per season basis. Although Shead has big shoes to fill, the six foot two inch 225 pounder who was a national junior college AllAmerican this past season looks primed to succeed in the Mustang’s offense. In his season of junior college football, Shead posted almost 1200 yards on the ground for 17 touchdowns. Additionally, Shead will be a good target in the pass heavy SMU offense that is centered around senior quarterback Garrett Gilbert. Shead chose Southern Methodist after receiving offers from schools like Big Ten university Purdue, as well as the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Hilltop Heroes: Nick Russell

FRIDAY n JANUARY 18, 2013

CHRISTOPHER SAUL Associate Sport’s Editor csaul@smu.edu Nick Russell, one of the stars of the SMU Men’s basketball team has had a great season so far. Even through a hot start and a slump for the squad, the transfer from Kansas State University has proved his mettle on and off of the court. The Mustangs are now 11-8 following a tough 74-70 loss to the Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi. Although a close loss to a team that made the NCAA tournament last year was a bitter pill to swallow, Russell looks forward to the next game, and only the next game. “The game I’m most excited about is the next game,” Russell said. “I don’t even know what the next game is.” Russell’s analysis of both his and his team’s faults is cutting and accurate. When asked about the lack of depth on the squad, he echoed head coach Larry Brown. “We rebounded well, and that was something that we had focused on [in practice], but we just couldn’t do enough,” said Russell. “Our bench is filled with Freshmen, guys without a lot of experience, and it shows. A few guys are playing a lot of minutes, and it is hurting us. Coach Brown is doing the best he can do, he doesn’t have a lot [of options off of the bench], but when guys do come on, they do what they can, they get good shots and some points. Our inexperience is hurting us this year though.” Life has changed dramatically

for the six foot four inch 200 pound guard since he left his first school, Kansas State. He has had three coaches in three years, he has moved back closer to his home and his team is both young and inexperienced, but ,like K-State teams, full of potential. He has moved from a perennial NCAA tournament invitee to a squad that hasn’t made it to a NCAA tournament since Russell was two years old. But he takes it all in stride. His other passion and perhaps his only constant in his college years has been his major, Psychology. When talking about the field, his eyes light up as he describes the intricacies of both family and sports psychology in great detail. “I see things that go in relationships and I can say I’ve studied that, you know, I know why that’s happening. I can actually see and dissect things that are in my life now… for example, I understand the way that we as human beings react to and deal with rewards, like why we do certain things.” After he is done in basketball he wants to use his degree to open up a family issues psychology practice in order to help other people with marital issues. “I always figured that sports would play into my life. As time went on I knew that I would have to make decisions about sports. I knew

I didn’t want to run track anymore, I didn’t like running; I didn’t want to play football, I got tired of being tackled, it just came out to playing basketball.” His decision to play only one sport in high school was a boon according to him. “Its wild to believe that [basketball] to me to here, I was just this kid who was playing basketball just to play, but now its paying for my school, it can and hopefully will open up so many doors for me.” His main goal is graduation. The emphasis that he puts on the importance of a college degree

is one that would qualify him to be an NCAA poster-child for the benefits of collegiate athletics. He is a redshirt junior, which means that he will graduate in four years with his degree; something that only 60% percent of his peers at SMU can say that they did, not to mention his fellow student-athletes. After school, his dream is to play in the NBA. “My main goal is to be successful in basketball, I really want to make it to the NBA. And if I cant, its just another blessing, you know, I’m thankful enough for what the Lord has given me.”
