In a commanding performance, the DALLAS SMU MUSTANGS topped the Salt Lake City Utes 34-10 in Week 7 of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Mustangs further solidified their position in the playoff race, showcasing their offensive firepower against a struggling Utes squad. Bo Nix was the standout performer for the Mustangs, throwing for three touchdowns and effectively leading his team’s offense throughout the game. Terrell Davis contributed significantly on the ground with 87 rushing yards, helping to control the tempo and maintain the Mustangs' dominance. Meanwhile, Carson Beck of the Utes compiled 273 passing yards and leaned heavily on Larry Fitzgerald, who racked up 130 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Dallas. Defensively, Zach Allen made his mark with a key sack, providing pressure that disrupted the Utes' offensive rhythm. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Mustangs scored back-to-back touchdowns, creating an insurmountable lead that the Utes could never overcome. Will Johnson's ten tackles showcased his relentless effort, but ultimately, the Mustangs' defense stifled any hopes of a comeback for Salt Lake City.
