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 fo r 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 te am'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 of f 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 return ing receiver Jordan Hudson to an apparent shoulder injury on a 7-yard catch on the first play of the game. - SMU/AP College Football

Garrett Nussmeier threw a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Trey'Dez Green in the fourth quarter, and No. 9 LSU rallied past fourth-ranked Clemson 17-10 on Saturday night for its first season-opening win since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to an u ndefeated season and a national championship. Nussmeier, who eclipsed 4,000 yards passing in his first year as a starter in 2024 after biding his time behind Jayden Daniels, got better as game went on, throwing for 134 of his 230 yards in the second half while leading two touchdown drives. Caden Durham rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown for LSU. LSU, retooled with a highly touted class of transfers, showed the mental and physical toughness that coach Brian Kelly was seeking after trailing 10-3 at the h alf.LSU's stifling defense limited first-team preseason Associated Press All-America quarterback Cade Klubnik to 19-of-38 passing for 230 yards and an interception. With 4 1/2 minutes left, Clemson got the ball with a chance to tie the game but fa iled to manage a single first down with Klubnik under constant pressure. LSU couldn't capitalize and had to punt the ball back, giving Clemson one more shot with 1:54 remaining. Klubnik got Clemson to the LSU 15 before a hurried pass on fourth-and-4 fell incomplete with a defender in his face. It didn't help that Clemson lost star wide receiver Antonio Williams, a second-team preseason AP All-American, to an injury early in the first quarter. It was expected to be a high-scoring matchup featuring a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls at QB and two of the nation's top offenses from a year ago. - AP College Football
