In their previous three games, the SMU Mustangs have shown exceptional performance, and one player who has stood out is quarterback Tanner Mordecai. In their most recent game against the Memphis Tigers, Mordecai showcased his skills by throwing for 228 yards with a completion percentage of 73.3%.

He has been a key playmaker for the team, consistently making big plays and converting crucial third downs. His average of 7.6 yards per pass demonstrates his ability to stretch the field and create opportunities for his teammates.


Another standout player for the SMU Mustangs is linebacker Shanon Reid. In their game against Tulane Green Wave, Reid recorded three tackles and one sack. His presence on the field has been crucial in stopping opposing offenses and disrupting their game plan.


The BYU Cougars, on the other hand, have also had some impressive performances from their players. Quarterback Jacob Conover has been leading the charge with 456 passing yards and five touchdowns in their last game against Utah Tech Trailblazers. Conover's accuracy and decision-making have been key factors in the Cougars' offensive success.


Defensively, Logan Pili has been a force to be reckoned with for BYU. In their game against Stanford Cardinal, Pili recorded three tackles and one sack. His ability to penetrate the offensive line and disrupt plays has been a game-changer for the Cougars.


Looking ahead to the upcoming game, both teams have players who could have an outsized impact on the outcome. Tanner Mordecai's ability to lead the Mustangs' offense with his arm and decision-making will be crucial in their quest for victory. On the other side, BYU's Jacob Conover will look to continue his impressive passing performance and lead his team to success.


Overall, the SMU Mustangs and BYU Cougars are set to deliver an exciting game filled with standout performances from talented players. The clash between Mordecai and Conover will be one to watch, as both quarterbacks have shown exceptional skills in recent games.
