SMU redshirt senior QB Shane Buechele completed 35-of-50 passes for 314 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday’s 52-38 loss at East Carolina.
Buechele (6'1/207) did eventually hit the 300-yard mark, but like a lot of his teammates he got off to a slow start Saturday afternoon. SMU scored on just one of its seven first-half possessions, going into the locker room trailing by a shocking 45-7 margin as a result. Buechele, who also scored on a 1-yard touchdowns run, was better in the second half but threw two costly interceptions as the Mustangs could get no closer than 14 points. He’ll look to rebound next week when SMU hosts Houston in its regular season finale.
