The 16 points the Mustangs allowed in the fourth quarter were enough to lose another close game at Ford Stadium.
Kicker Thomas Morstead continued his unusual inconsistency as he missed field goals from 49 yards and 46 yards away.
"You look at the games, bless his heart, the UTEP game and the Tulane game, he just hit the pole on one and you just never know what play is going to decide a game," Bennett said.
There were a lot of new faces that found their way on to the field due to a SMU defense that has been marred by injuries and absent players.
"There's going to be some opportunities for guys who have not played to play, just like [Saturday]," Bennett said.
Bryce Hudman and Damon Hurst did not see playing time due to injuries, Charlie Berry was injured during the game, Serge Elizee has been indefinitely suspended from the team for a violation of team rules, and Ryan Leonard is academically ineligible for the remainder of the season.
The beaten and broken Mustangs will have to put another tough loss behind them as they play UCF next week.
"They will do what we ask them do to, they will follow our example," Bennett said. "I'm going to come in tomorrow and coach the s*** out of them."
Kickoff is Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.
