FILE - In this Sept. 21, 2019, file photo, SMU head coach Sonny Dykes waits with his team before playing TCU in an NCAA college football game, in Fort Worth, Texas. Shane Buechele is the starting quarterback for an undefeated Top 25 team, like so many people envisioned when he started 12 games as a true freshman for Texas. Except Buechele is now close to home after going to No. 19 SMU as a graduate transfer. Dykes is in a similar situation, back home in Texas as a head coach. (AP Photo/Ron Jenkins, File)
