Backup QB?

This just in: Kevin Jennings is the guy for SMU. The stats (247-for-380 passing / 65% / 23 TDs / 11 INT and 354 rush yards and 5 rush TDs) will do that for a guy.

But what about after him? With Luster and Aronson gone, it's safe to assume Hawkins is the QB of the future. But he's also a freshman ...

Re: The 25 best players in the ACC in 2025

Jennings should be higher, and Maryland would be in the top 25 if not coming off that injury.

Yes, Clemson is stacked. The ACC is theirs to lose ... but I sure hope we can ruin their season for them.

Re: SMU reels in coveted cornerback

First reaction: Awesome! Cornerbacks are like quarterbacks, offensive linemen and defensive linemen -- a team never can have enough.

Second: all of those who are whining that SMU is simply outspending other schools can sit down and be quiet. Look at the other schools on that list: Texas A&M, Oregon ...

Wake's stated reason for opting out -- to focus on next year -- is obviously BS. Coaching staffs can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Spot-on, highlander. Football coaches across the country managed to prepare for bowl games (OR IN OUR CASE, THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF) and navigate the ...

Re: VIDEO: Garin Justice discusses offensive line signees

Fascinating interview. In an era when a lot of coaches hide behind clichés and non-answers ("one game at a time"), Coach Justice sure gave you a ton of info.
Looking forward to seeing Goofy hit the field in red and blue!

Re: Opponent preview: Cal Bears eager to 'ruin SMU's season'

Ruin our season? Let's ruin their trip to Dallas, and show why Texas players should stay home to play for us.

Happy Thanksgiving to all PonyFans ... and beat Cal!

Saturday weather

There are a lot of forecasts, but I just found this:

"Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 68. South southeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%."

Rain is no excuse. The players have talked about crowd noise this ...

Re: SMU moves to No. 20 in both polls

On paper, it looks like both teams are each other's best opponent so far.
I don't even have a guess as to how this will turn out. I could see either team winning, maybe comfortably.

Re: VIDEO: Lashlee, Jennings on Duke, injuries and Pitt

Impressive numbers. Thanks for posting that, CP.

Love these interviews. Coach Lashlee is such a breath of fresh air. Compare him to Dykes and Morris, and he comes across as so genuine. Authentic. Honest.

Oh yeah: he also wins a hell of a lot of games.
