Overview

  • Midway through the first quarter, Jennings faked a sweep and delivered a behind-the-back pass to tight end RJ Maryland for a 9-yard gain.
  • The play drew loud reactions at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas during SMU’s home game against Stanford.
  • Pre-snap, Maryland was aligned as an upback before slipping into the middle to secure the pass.
  • Reports differ on the drive’s result, with Yahoo Sports noting a holding penalty on the next play while Bleacher Report and ClutchPoints report a 19-yard touchdown to Derrick McFall later in the series.
  • SMU entered the game 3-2, and Jennings came in with strong production in his second year as the starter after leading last season’s ACC title game run and CFP appearance.
