DALLAS — The second-most touchdown passes in a game, ever. The first pair of 100-yard receivers since 1999. The first win in nearly a year.

Yep, the June Jones era is well under way at SMU.

Bo Levi Mitchell threw three touchdown passes to Emmanuel Sanders and two more to Aldrick Robinson in the Mustangs' 47-36 victory over Texas State last night.

The victory ended an 11-game losing streak, which was tied for the longest in the country. It also made Jones a winner in his first home game, his second overall since taking over a program that's had only one winning season in the past 20 years.

"This is exactly what I thought would happen," Sanders said. "It's going to be scary when we get better."

The Mustangs led 21-0 and 30-6, but needed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to hold off their Bowl Subdivision foe.

"I'm glad to get a first one," said Jones, who left Hawai'i after nine seasons to join SMU. "We've got a long way to go to be a good football team."
