SMU Injury Report Coming Out of Pitt Game
Key Players Injured
SMU suffered several key injuries in their 41-34 loss to Pitt on Saturday. Quarterback Tanner Mordecai left the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. Running back Tre Siggers also left the game with an ankle injury, and his status is uncertain for this week's game against Maryland.
Wide receiver Rashee Rice also suffered an injury, but he is expected to play against Maryland. Defensive end DeVere Levelston is also expected to play after missing the Pitt game with an injury.
Impact on This Week's Game
The injuries to Mordecai and Siggers are significant losses for SMU. Mordecai has been one of the most productive passers in the country this season, and Siggers is the team's leading rusher. Their absence will make it more difficult for SMU to move the ball against Maryland's defense.
The injuries to Rice and Levelston are less significant, but they could still impact the game. Rice is one of SMU's top playmakers, and Levelston is a key member of the defense.
Outlook for the Season
The injuries to Mordecai and Siggers are a major setback for SMU's hopes of winning the American Athletic Conference championship. However, the Mustangs still have a talented roster, and they should be able to compete for a bowl berth.
The injuries to Rice and Levelston are less concerning, but they could still impact the team's performance down the stretch. SMU will need to stay healthy if they want to achieve their goals this season.
