  Chris Naggar kicked a 43-yard field goal with nine seconds left and SMU beat No. 25 Memphis 30-27 on Saturday, after the Mustangs blew an early three-touchdown lead against a team playing its first game in four weeks. Memphis (1-1), which because of COVID-19 issues hadn't played since winning its opener Sept. 5, was driving for a potential go-ahead score when Brady White was sacked and fumbled with 1:25 left. That set up the final drive for SMU (4-0), which never trailed. Shane Buechele was 32-of-45 passing for 474 yards and three touchdowns. That included catch-and-run scores of 70 and 85 yards to Reggie Roberson before the star receiver left the game with an apparent left knee injury late in the third.

Roberson finished with five catches for 243 yards. White was 29-of-42 for 380 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Damonte Coxie had eight catches for 169 yards. Memphis last played a month agao against Arkansas State. The Tigers didn't play their next two scheduled games and had an 11-day gap without practicing because of positive COVID-19 tests in the program. SMU had a 24-3 led after Roberson's 85-yard score early in the second quarter. Buechele stepped up in the pocket and hit Roberson near the 25, where the receiver made a defender miss and then took off down the sideline. - SMU/AP College Football

  Reggie Roberson Jr. had quite literally just made another spectacular leaping catch. He came down, tried to get the defender to miss. Then, seemingly without contact, he crumple to the ground. SMU’s top receiver was tended to by trainers. Then he came out of the game, being assisted off the field. Roberson was having his best game of the season, and arguably his best game in an SMU uniform. He had 243 yards in the air, including a 70-yard and 80-yard touchdown. He probably would have had more on that catch, had he not been hurt. - Dallas Morning News

  SMU got a boost to its receiving corps on Wednesday when T.Q. Jackson announced via Twitter that his waiver to play immediately was approved by the NCAA. Jackson, a redshirt freshman, played in three games for the Arkansas Razorbacks last season, thus preserving his eligibility. He transferred to SMU in the offseason. Jackson is from Jefferson, Texas, and had one catch last season. He hasn't been eligible to play in the first three games for SMU in 2020. He was a four-star recruit coming out of Jefferson High School and had a host of Power Five offers, according to 247Sports. He was rated as the No. 45 wide receiver in the nation by the recruiting service for the Class of 2019. - Dallas Morning News

  Shane Buechele threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first quarter and SMU cruised to a 65-35 win over North Texas on Saturday night. Buechele completed 24 of 33 passes for 344 yards with no interceptions and added a 2-yard touchdown run. The senior moved into fourth on SMU's career list with seven 300-yard passing games and into fifth at the school with 39 career TD passes. North Texas went three-and-out on the game's opening possession and then on SMU's first play from scrimmage Buechele hit Rashee Rice for a 50-yard gain. Three plays later Reggie Roberson Jr.'s 15-yard touchdown catch made it 7-0 with 12:33 less than 2 1/2 minutes into the game.

Buechele hit Danny Gray for a 62-yard touchdown about three minutes later and Kylen Granson's 7-yard scoring reception gave the Mustangs a 21-0 lead with 3:27 left in the quarter. SMU (2-0) is 33-6-1 all-time against the Mean Green, but is just 2-4 playing at North Texas. Roberson finished with nine receptions for 103 yards and Rice had five catches for 102 yards. The teams combined for 1,200 total yards, including 710 by SMU. UNT (1-1) went three-and-out five times, failed two convert to fourth downs and committed two turnovers. - AP College/SMU Football

  The 2020 college football season is throwing everything a little out of whack. The reality, though, is that the season is going to have a significant impact on what happens in the years to come. The NCAA granted what is basically a free year of eligibility to all fall sports athletes. That means every football player will technically be allowed to add on a year. For all intents and purposes, 2020 doesn't count. "I think there's been some players that have already told us that they intend to come back," said coach Sonny Dykes. "Then there's some that I think just want to see how the year goes...I think there's just so much football that needs to be played and there's so many things that can play out." So that brings SMU to players like Richard Moore and Richard McBryde. Both are sixth-year linebackers. Theoretically, both will will be contributors, but neither appear surefire NFL locks. So, that presents an interesting scenario. - Dallas Morning News

  Pooka Williams is the undisputed star of the Kansas football offense. If you ask some of the Jayhawks, though, the preseason All-Big 12 running back has more than just a backup or sidekick in Velton Gardner. Even though Gardner is entering his sophomore season having not yet carried the ball more than five times in a KU game, at least one of his teammates views Gardner as the co-star in Williams' magic show. Senior receiver Andrew Parchment considers the KU duo one of the best running back combinations in the country. "That's 1A and 1B," Parchment proclaimed earlier this week. A bit of an afterthought in KU's offensive game plan many weeks in 2019, Gardner was expected to be the team's third-string back as a true freshman.

But once Khalil Herbert decided to redshirt and ultimately left the program, Gardner, a three-star Dallas athlete in KU's 2019 recruiting class, got a jumpstart on his college career. All of Gardner's carries came in the final eight games of the season, as he finished with 26 rushing attempts, 138 yards, 5.3 yards per carry and two touchdowns. "Velton takes a lot from Pooka, but Pooka takes a lot from Velton, as well," Parchment said. "They're a very good mix and match together, because I don't feel like we lose anything when Velton's in the game and I don't feel like we lose anything when Pooka's in the game. And it gets very scary when both of them are in the game." - Lawrence Journal World

  Roberson Jr. was arguably the best WR the team had through the first seven games of last season. In his final full game, he had eight catches for 250 yards and three touchdowns against Temple. He had 803 receiving yards in seven-plus games. Roberson Jr. probably could have been in the NFL right now if he had chosen to do so. Instead, he'll come back for another year with the Mustangs and his foot injury healed. - Dallas Morning News
