SMU Mustangs battle through sloppy play and costly penalties to notch a 3-1 record, but can they keep winning without cleaning up their act? Quarterback Kevin Jennings sets a new SMU passing record, while turnovers and red zone woes nearly let Missouri State pull off the upset. Is this high-powered offense its own worst enemy? Grayson Singleton highlights the Mustangs’ defensive resurgence, including improved tackling and a seven-sack performance led by Tavion Atkinson and Brandon Booker. However, a glaring kicker crisis emerges, with missed field goals threatening to derail future conference matchups. Can SMU find stability on special teams, or will their inconsistency catch up against tougher opponents like Wake Forest and Notre Dame?
