Baylor-SMU Preview Part 3: A Deep Dive into Rhett Lashlee’s Scheme and Strategic Matchups

This is Part 3 of my Baylor-SMU preview covering strategy from an X’s and O’s standpoint. Part 1 covered the Mustang roster, and Part 2 covered their recent history statistically.

Introduction

SMU is led by coach Rhett Lashlee, who has been the head man for the Mustangs since 2022, when he was hired to maintain their success following Sonny Dykes' departure to TCU on the other side of the metroplex.
