DALLAS (SMU) - Single-game tickets for the 2009 SMU football home games go on sale Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. Year two of the June Jones era will kick off with a home game against Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. on Sept. 5. Defending C-USA champion East Carolina comes to Dallas on Oct. 10 for another 7 p.m. contest before Navy sails into Dallas for a 7 p.m. matchup on Oct. 17. Rice (Nov. 7), UTEP (Nov. 14) and Tulane (Nov. 28) then wrap up the home slate with 2 p.m. games at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.

The Sporting News' Matt Hayes has named the Mustangs as his No. 2 team that he believes will show the most improvement in the win column from 2008 to 2009. "Those who stuck it out... will be rewarded this fall," writes Hayes.

Also on Monday, SMU will open single-game ticket sales for men's and women's soccer and volleyball.
