ESPN RECAP

Kevin Jennings breaks SMU's TD passing record as No. 23 Mustangs beat Cal 59-20

DALLAS -- , Kevin Jennings threw three touchdowns to break SMU's career record, Kendrick Raphael ran for 104 yards against his former team while accounting for three scores and the No. 23 Mustangs beat California 59-20 after trailing at halftime on Saturday. The Mustangs (6-1, 4-1 ACC) scored touchdowns on their first six drives after the break. The second of those scores was Jennings' record-breaking 73rd career TD pass , a 21-yarder to Derek McFall, and the third-year starting quarterback added to that with a 17-yarder to Jalen Hale with 6:29 left. “Just all the great quarterbacks that came through here and being able to surpass them, it’s an amazing feeling,” Jennings said. Jennings, 25-8 as the starter and already SMU's career leader for passing yards (9,766) and completions (781), surpassed the 72 TD passes by Tanner Mordecai from 2021-22.
