Seeing Stars at SMU Practice

SMU football practice on Wednesday morning included some perfect weather and the presence of a couple of Dallas Cowboys legends.

Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman and running back Daryl “Moose” Johnston were on hand for about an hour of new new head coach June Jones’ third day of practice. The weather certainly cooperated with temperatures in the mid-80s and a nice breeze.

Although he played at Oklahoma and UCLA, Aikman has become a Mustangs enthusiast.

“I have no ties to the university,” Aikman said, “but with it being in my backyard from where I live, I’m a fan of the school.”

Jones is also an NFL veteran quarterback. He played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1977 to 1981.
