SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings is getting ready to play in a big game against Pitt this Saturday, even though he got injured in the last game. He hurt his leg when a player’s helmet hit him in the fourth quarter of the game against Duke. Jennings said he’s feeling beat up but he’s tough and will push through the pain to play. He hasn’t been given the all-clear for contact yet, but he’s optimistic that he’ll be able to start the game against Pitt.
Last week, SMU had an impressive win against Duke, despite turning the ball over six times. This win was their ninth straight road victory. Jennings threw for 258 yards and a touchdown, but he also had three interceptions and lost two fumbles. Even with these mistakes, SMU managed to come out on top.
Jennings became the starting quarterback for SMU after a loss to BYU in Week 2. He has thrown for over 1,500 yards and 10 touchdowns in eight games this season. He’s also a good runner, averaging over 40 yards per game. However, his leg injury raises concerns about his ability to run against Pitt. Jennings is confident that he’ll still be able to perform at his best.
Both SMU and Pitt are facing questions about their quarterbacks going into this important game. Pitt’s quarterback, Eli Holstein, got hurt in their last game but is expected to play against SMU. The matchup between these two unbeaten teams in the ACC is highly anticipated.
The game between Pitt and SMU will take place on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. It will be interesting to see how Jennings and Holstein perform in this crucial game for both teams. The outcome of this matchup could have a big impact on the ACC standings.
