Kevin Jennings

If he leads us to a win Saturday and brings home the championship, he'll be a legend in SMU football history.
Can't wait to see it happen.

Hopefully this will be Kevin's "Cade Klubnik moment" (referring to Klubnik coming in and winning the ACC Championship for Clemson last year after playing very little during the regular season)

I know he hasn't played a lot, but he just doesn't seem even a little fazed when he goes in the game.
I see Jennings leading us to a title Saturday!

Heck yeah! The guy has taken a team to a state 5A championship IN TEXAS. This is old hat for him.

I remember one of the lamebrain DMN UT apologist columnist's "Dear Lance" letter the week before the game you reference. Basically he wrote Lance's football obituary. That Saturday Lance only completed one pass and the box score showed that we had 3 yards in the air. But we whipped Texas because Lance was cool as a cucumber and played like a winner. No INTs. No lost fumbles.

I bet that same collumnist was quiet the year before when SMU went
to the air to beat UT soundly. Lance has always been undervalued.
Consumate team player.

Remember the 83 hog contest. What a day for our D.

Last year after Tanner and Preston went down in the Cincinnati game, Kevin started against Tulsa in a must win game. He was over 70% completion and over 200 yards throwing. Not saying Tulsa and Tulane are equal, but this young man has been tested as a back up with one weeks prep before starting.

No big deal but SMU didnΓÇÖt beat Texas before the 1980 win in Austin. Or the 1982 win in Austin.

Jennings played a really good game. He deserves lots of kudos.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Definitely, he did what he needed to do to get us the win.

Made some really magical plays out there.

The fumble at the beginning of the game was not his fault, most QBs would have fumbled on that blindside hit as the arm was about to go in motion in throw.

His first INT was a bad pass behind the receiver and his second was a just a bad decision.

Other than that, he used his legs perfectly and made some tricky throws when the defense thought he was going to run.

Room for improvement, hopefully that will be in a NY6 bowl!
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!
