Thunder On: Resurgence of the SMU Mustangs

Directed by Chip Rives

Fresh off their 2024 College Football Playoff appearance, Thunder On: Resurgence of the SMU Mustangs chronicles SMU's dramatic fall from grace after its football program was issued the harshest penalty in NCAA history and follows the Mustangs' long, improbable climb back to college football relevance. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing college football landscape, the film explores how one private school in Dallas defied history, politics, and financial odds to earn its way back into the big leagues with swagger, strategy, and Texas-sized pride.
