DALLAS -- A grim-faced Tom Herman could hear the whoops and hollers of SMU players as the Houston coached tried to explain a shocking 38-16 loss to the Mustangs on Saturday night.Was it hard to listen to that celebration?More than you know, Herman said.Ben Hicks threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score in SMUs first win over a ranked team in five years.The Cougars (6-2, 3-2 American) lost for the second time after a 5-0 start that included a season-opening win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma that vaulted Houston into the Top 10.The last time the Mustangs (3-4, 1-2) beat a team ranked 11th or higher, they were No. 4 and finishing off a near-perfect 1982 season (11-0-1) with a 7-3 victory over sixth-ranked Pittsburgh in the Cotton Bowl. SMU tied No. 7 Texas A&M in 1994.It was SMUs fourth win in 20 tries against Houston since returning from the so-called death penalty in 1989. The first loss was 95-21.For us to come in and get a signature win like this is huge, SMU coach Chad Morris said. And I shared with our players for the last two weeks, `It just takes one (win) to start a revolution. It just takes one win to put some wind in our sails.Greg Ward Jr. couldnt shake a persistent SMU pass rush or find receivers for big plays, finishing with 241 yards passing -- almost 100 below his average -- and just 3 yards rushing on 17 carries thanks to seven sacks.One of the sacks was for an 18-yard loss to the Houston 22 when coach Tom Herman went for it on fourth down trailing 28-14 early in the fourth quarter.Herman got conservative moments later, choosing a 19-yard field goal attempt on fourth down from the SMU 2. Ty Cummings hit the right upright for his second miss.Immense introspection when you lose a game like that, Herman said. Well leave no stone unturned to figure out why that happened.Hicks was 16 of 31 for 228 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown to a wide-open James Proche for a 28-7 lead in the final seconds of the first half. SMU appeared content to run out the clock before a 40-yard run by Braeden West, who had 115 yards rushing and a punctuating touchdown late.THE TAKEAWAYHouston: Herman figured to be the hottest name in coaching for the offseason searches of LSU and any other high-profile programs that might be looking. Perhaps that doesnt change, but this October isnt helping. Convincing wins over Florida State in the Peach Bowl and the Sooners in this years opener have lost some luster.SMU: Morris, the second-year coach who went 2-10 in his debut season, has a good chance to build on his biggest win, and one of the programs biggest since the crippling NCAA sanctions almost 30 years ago. The Mustangs faded in the second half after strong early efforts against two other high-scoring Texas teams, Baylor and TCU. They finished the job this time.TONE-SETTING TURNOVERSThe Cougars lost two fumbles in the first quarter and never got their high-powered offense going. Houston was outgained 406-303. When you play a team at their place thats fresh, thats hungry, motivated, to give them life like that, Herman said. Youre playing catch-up the whole game from that point on.CAREER GAMESMU defensive end Jarvis Pruitt recovered one of the fumbles and had three sacks in the Mustangs first win over a ranked team since beating No. 20 TCU 40-33 in overtime in 2011.POLL IMPLICATIONSHouston: The Cougars could tumble all the way out of the rankings after being at No. 6 for several weeks following the victory over the Sooners. The fall has been sudden for a program coming off its first New Years bowl in 30 years and the second 13-win season in program history.UP NEXTHouston: The Cougars start a stretch of three straight home games against UCF next Saturday. That stretch ends against No. 7 Louisville. They also get a bye after nine straight weeks of playing.Its a one-game season to get to that bye week and put everything weve got into protecting our home stadium and preparing and executing better than we did tonight, Herman said.SMU: The Mustangs visit Tulane next Saturday before a home game against Memphis, which just lost its first conference game against Navy.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.orgYeezy Boost 350 Clearance .

"We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors.BOSTON -- Based on his performance this season, Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel admitted he was a little surprised to be selected to pitch in the All-Star Game.Now, it appears he wont be able to.Kimbrel was unavailable Friday night in the ninth inning of a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park after tweaking his left knee during pregame warmups, according to Red Sox manager John Farrell.Kimbrel underwent an MRI exam, the results of which will be available to the team on Saturday.Everything that we did early, he was fine, Farrell said after Koji Uehara allowed a solo home run but still picked up the save in Kimbrels absence. But then he felt something while the running was taking place, unfortunately, during [batting practice] while he was shagging.Kimbrel, who has a 3.55 ERA and 17 saves in 34 appearances, was among six Red Sox players named to the American League All-Star team. Asked if Kimbrel would still be able to pitch Tuesday night in San Diego, Farrell said, I would venture to say hes not going to be available for that.In addition to Kimbrel, reliiever Junichi Tazawa was unavailable Friday night due to discomfort in his right shoulder.dddddddddddd Tazawa hasnt pitched since last Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, although Farrell said the Red Sox have not yet felt the need to order an MRI exam.Also, left fielder Brock Holt left Friday nights game with a Grade 1 sprain of his left ankle after sliding awkwardly into second base in the fourth inning. Holt was in a walking boot after the game, a precautionary measure, according to Farrell, and will be reevaluated Saturday. With the Red Sox facing a left-hander (Tampa Bays Matt Moore), it was likely Bryce Brentz would have gotten the start in left field anyway.And to complete the Red Soxs injury list, first baseman Hanley Ramirez departed in the ninth inning after fouling a pitch off his left shin. Ramirez said he doesnt expect to miss any time.The way I feel, hell no, he said. Just come in early and see how it feels and go from there. ' ' '
