Decent backup QB I guess.

SMU couldn't have written a better first year in the ACC.

CFP
MSOC NCAAT
WVOL NCAAT
Men's Basketball is currently on the bubble

This really may be a sleeping giant.

Tyler Van Dyke still has eligibility? No freakin way. he was a senior in 2021 when he beat us at Heinz field.

EDIT:

ok, looked it up, TVD was a freshman in '21, weird. this will be his 6th year but im assuming the 2 games he played in in 2020 didnt void his redshirt year or his covid year. dude has to be in his mid 20s.

Van Dyke looked like he was going to be the next major prospect for the NFL and then crashed. I had no idea he was still in college.

2020: COVID
2021: year 1
2022: year 2
2023: year 3
2024: redshirt
2025: final year

Makes sense for Van Dyke to go there to reunite with Lashlee, who helped him to his best season in 2021. Pretty solid pickup considering Jennings will be back.

I think SMU will consistently be pretty good. They have the billionaire donors to bankroll the team.

This really may be a sleeping giant.

When the president of their boosters is quoted as saying they wont lose any sleep over missing out on what 210 million?

Of course they will be a sleeping giant.

This is good news for our league

Isn’t he like 30 years old?

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

A victim of the Ron Cook jinx. Practically ball washed him after beating Pitt in 2021.

I remember when we wished he played in Pittsburgh. For the Steelers, that is. He had a Jurkovec Lite regression.

Yes. I thought that he was a sure fire top five pick once he was eligible. Crazy how things change.

Getting reunited with Lashlee may suit him well.

Does Pitt play SMU next season. How often does a team lose to the same QB but on two different teams?

No SMU next year.

The ESPN article says that TVD will be coached at SMU by the Miami QB that he replaced (due to injury) back in 2021, D’Eriq King. King is the QB coach at SMU.

[snaphook297]

Didnt we literally beatthe crap out of him in 23?

Didnt we literally beatthe crap out of him in 23?

It was in November of 22. I can't remember if he left due to injury or was benched, but he left fairly early in that game.
