Overview

• Quarterback Kevin Jennings went 22 of 30 for 260 yards with two touchdown passes and a rushing score, including a 63-yard strike to Romello Brinson as part of Brinson’s 7 catches for 121 yards.
• SMU’s defense produced two pick-sixes, with Ahmaad Moses returning one 95 yards and captain Alexander Kilgore taking another 10 yards after a deflection-heavy sequence.
• Kilgore exited after his touchdown return and appeared in a boot on the sideline, and receiver Jordan Hudson left on the first play with an apparent shoulder injury; coach Rhett Lashlee said X-rays were negative for both and their status for next week is uncertain.
• Despite the comfortable margin, SMU committed eight penalties for 84 yards and controlled the ball for roughly 21 minutes, prompting Lashlee to call for cleaner execution.
• TexaTexas A&M, rebranded from A&M-Commerce and now a full FCS member located about 70 miles from SMU, fell to 0-1; the Mustangs host Baylor next Saturday in their first meeting since 2016.
