TULSA, Okla. (AP)—Freshman quarterback Kyle Padron threw for 354 yards, turning two broken plays into scoring passes, in his first career start to lead SMU to a 27-13 victory over Tulsa on Saturday.

Padron, who came off the bench a week ago, completed 20 of 30 passes for the Mustangs (4-4, 3-1 C-USA) .

Padron broke a 7-7 tie in the third quarter when he scrambled and found running back Shawnbrey McNeal in the flat. He twisted his way 36 yards for a score.

Tulsa (4-4, 2-2) cut the deficit to 20-13 when reserve quarterback Jacob Bower found tight end Jake Collums over the middle from 13 yards out.

Tulsa coach Todd Graham went for a fourth-and-18 from the SMU 44 with 5:31 to play. G.J.Kinne’s pass was deflected and SMU drove 56 yards for the clinching score, a 2-yard plunge by Zach Line.

    Go Mustangs!!! I'm glad to see that June Jones is starting to make a positive impact on the SMU program. Since his departure from Hawaii, our football program is falling apart. The QB and WR coaching isn't what it used to be and Hawaii really misses Jones' playcalling. Our coaches still run the run n shoot, but it just isn't the same, it just lacks rhythm in the playcalling. PLus our red zone efficiency has really dropped.

    Hope you guys make a bowl game and go to the Hawaii Bowl, I think Jones will have a warm reception there.
