No. 9 SMU Dominates Cal to Secure Ninth Straight Win

SMU finishes the regular season 11-1 and prepares to face Clemson in the ACC Championship with playoff hopes alive.

SMU defeated Cal 38-6, extending their winning streak to nine games and completing an undefeated ACC regular season at 8-0.
The Mustangs' defense excelled with five sacks and 16 tackles for loss, including two sacks by Kobe Wilson, while allowing just two field goals from Cal.
Quarterback Kevin Jennings led SMU with 225 passing yards and two touchdowns, supported by Brashard Smith's rushing and receiving scores.
Cal's offense struggled, managing only 254 total yards and missing a critical first-half field goal after a promising drive stalled near the SMU end zone.
SMU will face Clemson in the ACC Championship on Dec. 7, with a potential College Football Playoff berth at stake if they secure another victory.
