SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings has been given the green light to play in the upcoming game against Pitt, according to coach Rhett Lashlee. He was previously listed as questionable due to undisclosed injuries but has now been medically cleared to start for the Mustangs on Saturday night. On the other hand, wide receiver Jake Bailey will be unable to play after sustaining an injury during SMU’s victory over Duke.
Jennings, who has a perfect 5-0 record as a starter this season, has been a key player for SMU. He has thrown for 1,594 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions so far this season. Additionally, he has rushed for 321 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his versatility on the field. His performance will be crucial as SMU takes on Pitt in a highly anticipated matchup between two undefeated teams in ACC play.
Both teams have had uncertainties surrounding their quarterbacks’ availability, with Pitt’s Eli Holstein also receiving clearance to play late in the week. The game is expected to be a high-stakes showdown between two top-20 teams vying for dominance in the ACC.
SMU’s offense has been a force to be reckoned with, ranking third in scoring and total yards per game in ACC play. Jennings’ leadership and playmaking abilities have been instrumental in the team’s success, and his presence on the field will be crucial in determining the outcome of the game against Pitt.
As SMU gears up to face off against Pitt, fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling matchup between two powerhouse teams in the ACC. With Jennings back in action and leading the charge, the Mustangs are poised to put up a strong fight and secure a victory that could have significant implications for their season moving forward.
