ESPN RECAP

Kevin Jennings throws for 350 yards and 4 TDs as SMU beats Virginia Tech 51-28

DALLAS -- , Kevin Jennings threw for 350 yards with four touchdowns, three to Yamir Knight , and SMU scored on each of its first eight drives in a 51-28 win over Virginia Tech on Friday night. The Mustangs (7-2, 5-2 ACC) got a big win in their push to make the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game for the second time in three seasons since joining the league. They are 12-0 in ACC home games. “We get a chance to write our story,” said SMU coach Rhett Lashlee, who is 15-2 in November games during his five seasons. Jennings, now 26-9 as SMU's starter, finished 24-of-32 passing while Knight had six catches for 103 yards. The Mustangs had a season-high 569 total yards, the most given up by the Hokies in their first season with coach James Franklin. “We did not play well and they played well ... For whatever reason, we were bit off in all three phases,” Franklin said.
