No. 23 SMU absolutely annihilated California on Saturday, rolling to a dominant 59-20 victory, but the real fireworks? Quarterback Kevin Jennings just went next-level, throwing three touchdowns to officially shatter SMU’s career passing touchdown record.
Jennings Reaches Legendary Status With Career Record
Talk about making a statement! Kevin Jennings cemented his place in SMU history, hitting Derek McFall with a 21-yard pass that wasn’t just a score, it was his 73rd career touchdown pass. That’s the new career record, folks! And he wasn’t done there, adding another 17-yard strike to Jalen Hale with just over six minutes left in the game. You’ve gotta love seeing a quarterback play with that kind of confidence, especially in big moments.
Second-Half Onslaught Leaves Cal Stunned
Believe it or not, the Mustangs, now 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the ACC, actually went into halftime *trailing*. But whatever SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee said in that locker room? It worked. They came out of the break on an absolute rampage, scoring touchdowns on their first SIX drives after halftime! That record-breaking pass to McFall was the second score in that incredible post-halftime explosion. Running back Kendrick Raphael was also a beast on the ground, racking up 104 rushing yards and accounting for three scores himself, with two of those coming on crucial fourth-down plays. Cal just had no response, watching SMU pile on the points drive after drive in that second half.
