  Kevin Jennings threw for 303 yards with three touchdowns and ran for another score as SMU stayed in contention to reach another ACC title game with a 38-6 win over Louisville on Saturday. The Mustangs (8-3, 6-1 ACC) would make the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game for the second year in a row since joining the league if they win their regular-season finale at California and get a little help. Jennings completed 29 of 37 passes in his third consecutive 300-yard game. His nifty 5-yard TD pass put SMU up 21-3 late in the first half. Jennings initially went right, then reversed to avoid defenders and had what seemed a clear lane to the end zone when, still on the run, he flung the ball forward with his right arm to TJ Harden.

Louisville (7-4, 4-4), without starting quarterback Miller Moss and leading rusher Isaac Brown, lost its third game in a row. Moss, a transfer from USC, had started the first 10 games and was in uniform but didn't play because of a foot injury. Brown has missed all three of those losses since injuring a leg against Virginia Tech. Adams, a redshirt freshman from Austin, Texas, was 12-of-17 passing for 94 yards in his first career start for the Cardinals, who had only 228 total yards. SMU last year made its ACC debut by going 8-0 in league play, and still made the 12-team College Football Playoff after losing to Clemson in the conference championship game. On Saturday, Jennings put SMU ahead to stay with his 2-yard TD on the game's opening drive, and Jordan Hudson made a spectacular leaping 7-yard TD catch while defended and being able to get his foot down in bounds. Yamir Knight had a similar 6-yard scoring catch in the back of the end zone in the fourth quarter. - SMU/AP College Football

  WEEK 10 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: AHMAAD MOSES, SMU, Senior, Safety, Arlington, TX,...The ACC Defensive Player of the Week, Ahmaad Moses led SMU with a career-high 15 tackles, including 2.0 tackles-for-loss, in the Mustangs' 26-20 overtime win over No. 10 Miami. Moses also had two interceptions in the win, tying his career high. This is the highest ranked win for SMU since defeating No. 6 Pitt, 7-3, in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1983. With the victory, SMU improved to 6-3, 4-1 in the ACC. Notes: It is the 14th time a Texas player has earned Walter Camp National Player of Week honors since 2004. It is the second time Hill, Jr., has been recognized as National Defensive Player of Week - he was also honored on Oct. 14, 2024. - Walter Camp Football Foundation

  SMU didn't have a letdown after its big victory over Miami last weekend. Kevin Jennings threw for three touchdowns and 326 yards to carry SMU to a 45-13 victory over Boston College on Saturday, spoiling the Eagles' annual Red Bandana Game and sending them to their ninth straight loss. The game honors the memory of Welles Crowther, a BC graduate and former lacrosse player, who was working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 and died rescuing people. He was known for carrying a red bandanna. Jennings completed 16-of-32 passes with TD throws of 25, 61 and 37 yards for the Mustangs (7-3, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Derrick McFall ran for three TDs. "College football has turned into a game of explosive plays," SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. "But, if you're explosive and you can run the ball, then you control the game a little better." Dylan Lonergan was 25 of 37 for 232 yards with a TD and interception for BC (1-9, 0-6) after starting QB Grayson James was benched following fumbling twice in the opening quarter. SMU came into the day leading the FBS with 22 turnovers gained.

Leading 17-6, the Mustangs took control when Jennings hit Yamir Knight with the 61-yarder. Knight was wide open deep over-the-middle, cut to his left after the catch and slipped inside the pylon for the score on SMU's first drive of the second half. Jennings then hit Matthew Hibner with the 37-yard TD toss. Coming off an upset victory over then-No. 10 Miami, the Mustangs built a 17-0 lead before the Eagles kicked a pair of late second-quarter field goals. "Our goal this game was not to let that happen," Jennings said about a loss at Wake Forest after an emotional win at Clemson. "Play a complete game for all four quarters and everybody stepped up to that challenge." - SMU/AP College Football

  11/01/25 - TJ HardenSr/2026, Southern Methodist, 6-2, 220 (DS#25 RB) + More +

  T.J. Harden scored on a 1-yard run in overtime, and SMU upset No. 10 Miami 26-20 on Saturday, handing the Hurricanes their second loss in three weeks and damaging their playoff hopes. Ahmaad Moses put the Mustangs (6-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) in position to win even with a field goal by intercepting Carson Beck just short of the goal line on the first possession of the extra period. Harden's score came on the last of his four consecutive runs as the Mustangs won their 13th consecutive home conference game a week after losing an ACC regular-season game for the first time in their second season since returning to a power league. Harden took a handoff and ran left untouched, launching a wild celebration as SMU students stormed the field from the stands behind the Miami bench. Fans toppled the goal post in the end zone where Harden scored. Marquise Lightfoot's critical unnecessary roughness penalty on a hit on quarterback Kevin Jennings after Miami called a timeout gave the Mustangs a first down when they were facing fourth-and-9 down three with 1:08 remaining in regulation.

Sam Keltner kicked a tying 38-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining in regulation after a potential tying 42-yarder with about six minutes to go was ruled no good as the ball sailed over the right upright. SMU coach Rhett Lashlee, hours after the school announced his two-year contract extension, argued the call, but it wasn't reviewable. Jennings threw for a touchdown and ran for a score before ignoring an apparent lower left leg injury and returning to finish a drive to Keltner's 43-yard field for a 17-all tie in the final second of the third quarter. Beck had 274 yards passing with touchdowns to Joshisa Trader and Alex Bauman, but threw two interceptions in Miami's first game outside Florida this season. The Mustangs had negative yards rushing when they started overtime. The 25 yards on the winning possession put them at 23 for the game. - SMU/AP College Football

  Kevin Jennings threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, Chris Johnson Jr. put the game away with a late 6-yard scoring run and SMU defeated Clemson 35-24 on Saturday to avenge last year's heartbreaking loss in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Jordan Hudson finished with seven catches for 131 yards and a touchdown for the Mustangs (5-2, 3-0 ACC), who've won three straight. Clemson played without first-team Preseason All-American quarterback Cade Klubnik, who sat out with ankle injury. Christopher Vizzina made his first start for the Tigers (3-4, 2-3) and completed 29 of 42 passes for 317 yards with three touchdowns, including two to T.J. Moore. Moore had five catches for 124 yards, including a one-hand snag on a 62-yard touchdown reception. Clemson beat SMU 34-31 last December for the ACC title on a walk-off field goal, and this game provided similar drama. SMU led 29-17 in the fourth quarter when Clemson's Ricardo Jones intercepted Jennings near midfield with 10 minutes remaining.

Facing a fourth-and-21, Vizzina found a leaping Tristan Smith for a 23-yard touchdown strike between two defenders to cut the Mustangs' lead to 29-24 with 6:44 left and pumping life into the home crowd. But SMU drew a crucial pass interference penalty on a fourth-and-3 at the Clemson 39 to move the chains on the ensuing possession and Jennings followed with a 26-yard strike along the right sideline to Hudson on third-and-10. With Clemson needing stop to force a field goal and keep it a one-possession game, Johnson plowed into the end zone with 1:03 left to seal the victory. SMU outgained Clemson 139-35 on the ground. Clemson trailed 16-7 at the break and looked like it might get back in the game after Moore reached out and snagged a one-handed grab on a long ball from Vizzina and raced to the end zone. But SMU answered with a pair of 75-yard scoring drives on its next two possessions to take a 29-17 lead as McFall took a pitchout and raced 35 yards around right end untouched to the end zone and tight end Matthew Hibner hauled in a one-handed grab on a crossing route for a walk-in 22-yard TD. - SMU/AP College Football

  Chris Johnson Jr. ran for an 87-yard touchdown and took a short pass 42 yards for a score after a nifty escape from quarterback Kevin Jennings as SMU beat Stanford 34-10 on Saturday. Justin Medlock returned an interception 96 yards for a clinching TD in the fourth quarter of the 19th consecutive regular-season conference victory for the Mustangs (4-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast). SMU is 10-0 in the ACC in the regular season since returning to a power conference last season for the first time since 1995. The Mustangs lost to Clemson in the ACC championship game last year.

The Cardinal (2-4, 1-2) answered Johnson’s long rushing score with 35 seconds to go before halftime by driving 75 yards in four plays and 33 seconds to get within 17-7 at the break. Stanford cornerback Aaron Morris was immobilized and taken off the field in an ambulance in the first quarter after tackling SMU receiver Jordan Hudson. Morris cleared precautionary tests and was allowed to rejoin the team before the end of the game. Five plays after Morris’ injury, Derrick McFall took a short pass from Jennings 19 yards for the game’s first points. Johnson was 22 of 30 for 247 yards and two scores. On the TD to Johnson, Jennings escaped immediate pressure from Tevarua Tafiti by pivoting out the tackle, then lobbing the pass to Johnson just before he was crunched by several defenders. Johnson was alone along the sideline before cutting toward the middle of the field. - SMU/AP College Football

  Kevin Jennings threw for 281 yards and a touchdown, T.J Harden ran for 96 yards and two more scores, and SMU bounced back from a double-overtime loss to Baylor by rallying for a 28-10 win over Missouri State on Saturday. Dramekco Green added a touchdown run for the Mustangs (2-1), who trailed 10-0 early before finishing with four unanswered touchdowns against the Bears (1-2), who were playing their first home game as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Bears' Jacob Clark threw for 275 yards and a touchdown. But he also was picked off three times, including once in the end zone, when Missouri State had a chance to regain the lead early in the second half.

The Bears, who were blown out by USC in their opener, had rebounded with a comeback win over Marshall. And they carried that momentum into revamped Plaster Stadium, where a big crowd turned up for one of the biggest home games in school history. Missouri State turned an early interception into a field goal. Then, after swapping possessions, the Bears needed just six plays to go 74 yards, and Clark finished off the drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dash Luke for a 10-0 lead. For much of the first half, SMU looked as if it was still recovering from last week's loss to Baylor, which knocked the Mustangs out of the Top 25. But coach Rhett Lashlee's bunch finally hit its stride late in the second quarter, driving 73 yards and 80 yards on consecutive possessions to take a 14-10 lead into the break. Harden added a 37-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and RJ Maryland's TD catch in the fourth put the game away. - SMU/AP College Football

  SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings had two 75-yard touchdowns while completing all 10 of his passes Saturday in the first half of the 17th-ranked Mustangs' first game against former Southwest Conference rival Baylor since 2016. Those two long TDs accounted for 150 of Jennings' 236 yards passing by halftime, when SMU led 24-21. The first snap of the game was Jennings' TD to Romello Brinson, who reached out with his left hand and deflected the ball back to himself near the 40 after Baylor cornerback Levar Thornton Jr. jumped in front of him and got his hands on it.

Brinson had a 63-yard touchdown catch from Jennings on the third play of SMU's 42-13 win over East Texas A&M in the season opener last Saturday. Jennings got his other 75-yard TD against Baylor, also on the first play of a drive, when he found Jalen Cooper open behind the Baylor secondary and hit the freshman in stride near the 40. That put the Mustangs up 24-14 with 4:49 left in second quarter. - AP College Football

  Ahmaad Moses returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown and middle linebacker Alexander Kilgore had a much shorter and stranger pick-6 as 16th-ranked SMU opened the season with a 42-13 win over East Texas A&M on Saturday night. The Mustangs led for good after Kevin Jennings' 63-yard TD pass to Romello Brinson on the third play less than a minute into the game. Jennings completed 22 of 30 passes for 260 yards and two TDs, and ran 7 yards for a score. Brinson had seven catches for 121 yards.

Moses' big play made it 28-3 after Football Championship Subdivision East Texas A&M got to the SMU 8 on the first drive after halftime. He stepped in front of a pass by Eric Rodriguez and sprinted the length of the field untouched. Kilgore, one of the team's captains, got hurt on his 10-yard TD return in the first quarter. He was limping when he got up and was on the sideline after halftime on crutches and with a protective boot on his left foot. Will Madonna threw that interception, which first went off 6-foot-4 defensive end Cameron Robertson while he reached over an offensive lineman. The ball then ricocheted off of Kilgore's foot without hitting the ground. He grabbed it and was tripped up by Madonna as he crossed the goal line. SMU lost top returning receiver Jordan Hudson to an apparent shoulder injury on a 7-yard catch on the first play of the game. - SMU/AP College Football
