Impact Big throwing volume should mean many completions, which Jennings got a season high of Saturday. In Jennings' last seven games, he successfully logged at least 300 passing yards and three touchdowns four times, this past weekend being his fourth. Unlike the other three times, Jennings also logged a rushing touchdown, meaning Saturday marked his season high in career TDs. And despite the loss, a Jennings-led SMU offense impressed enough to advance into the 2024-25 College Football Playoff, keeping his current season alive. Up next for the Mustangs is a visit to Penn State.

Starting Saturday Jennings (undisclosed) has been medically cleared to return this weekend against Pittsburgh, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jennings won't miss any time after he was initially ruled as questionable for this week with an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot junior has been impressive under center this season, throwing for 1,594 yards (110-of-171), 10 interceptions and five interceptions across eight games, adding on 321 yards and three scores on the ground. Jennings will look to elevate his game against an undefeated Panthers' squad this weekend.

Expected to play Jennings (undisclosed) has been a limited participant in practice this week but is still expected to start against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jennings was labeled as questionable on Tuesday, but the quarterback is now expected to be able to trot out under center in a big-time game against the undefeated Panthers. He still reportedly needs to be cleared for contact, but the indication as of Wednesday is that the gunslinger will suit up. Jennings has been a revelation at quarterback for SMU this season, despite his recent three-pick outing against Duke.

Questionable for Week 10 Jennings (undisclosed) has been labeled as questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Jacob Richman of LoneStarLive.com reports.

Impact Jennings, who is coming off a three-pick outing against Duke in Week 9, has been termed questionable ahead of this weekend's showdown with the Panthers. The 6-foot redshirt sophomore quarterback has been solid for the Mustangs this season, throwing for 1,594 yards (110-of-171), 10 touchdowns and five interceptions, adding on 321 yards and three scores on the ground (eight games).

Impact Jennings surpassed the 250-yard mark for the fourth straight week, but his three interceptions were a blemish on his performance against the Blue Devils, especially after throwing just two in total all season prior. The quarterback did offer a score on the ground to somewhat salvage his fantasy output, but he'll need to step up his efficiency (54.2 percent completion) next week against a Pitt defense that just picked off five passes in one game.

Three touchdowns in blowout win Jennings completed 17 of 27 passes for 322 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 40-10 victory against Stanford. He also had 10 rushes for 18 yards.

Impact Stanford was entirely over-matched against SMU, and Jennings' performance is a perfect example. The quarterback had little trouble dicing up the Cardinal defense. This is just his second game of the season with three passing touchdowns, and his first with 300-plus yards. That could be a sign of even better things to come for the ascending quarterback, who has SMU sitting pretty at 6-1.
