ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico \u2014 Star quarterback Tanner Mordecai and many of his SMU teammates watched curiously after arriving at the Main Event Wednesday night as BYU’s traveling contingent paraded off three large buses and into the amusement center.<\/p>\n

Mordecai succinctly and without hesitation said \u201czero\u201d when asked how many of his teammates are married.<\/p>\n
