Here are five key numbers from SMU's 44-21 win over Arkansas State.
17.6
That was Arkansas State's passer rating when throwing at SMU cornerback Jordan Wyatt, per ProFootballFocus.com. Red Wolves starting quarterback Justice Hansen finished the day with a 162.5 passer rating and backup Logan Bonner with a 54.1 rating. It was part of another big game for the junior Wyatt, who played a role in both of SMU's forced turnovers and finished with six tackles and three pass breakups.
25
That was Arkansas State's third-down conversion rate on Saturday, earning a first down on three of 12 attempts on third down. This was an area of concern for head coach Chad Morris after the TCU game, when SMU allowed conversions on over 60 percent of the Horned Frogs' attempts. SMU bounced back quickly in this statistic.
7.9
That's how many yards SMU gained on average on first downs. SMU gained a total of 317 yards on its 40 first-down plays, or 54.7 percent of SMU's total yards in the game. It helps when your run game is putting up crazy numbers like it did on Saturday. Speaking of which ...
7.7
That's how many yards SMU back Xavier Jones averaged per rush on his way to 146 total yards, a new career high for the redshirt sophomore. It was a comeback game for the running back after missing most of last season with a hamstring injury.
37.5
That was SMU's third-down conversion rate against Arkansas State. The Mustangs made first-down yardage on six of 16 attempts. That's the most glaring red mark on SMU's stat sheet after its third win of the season.
