One might think that after Duke came out and smacked the team in the mouth in the first half that they would hunker down and vow to never let that happen again.

In his rather pissy postgame presser after the Mustangs fell by 14 at Louisville 18 days ago, SMU coach Andy Enfield gave but peripheral credit to the Cards for the W.

I wasn’t expecting it, but there was something about Saturday’s game — despite the sleepy environment and the opponent being less stellar than anyone was anticipating when the game was scheduled — that felt really refreshing.
