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). If Jennings is ultimately unable to go this weekend, Preston Stone would likely reclaim starting quarterback duties for the week.

Rough outing in narrow win Jennings completed 13 of 24 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 28-27 overtime win against Duke. He also had 13 rushes for 41 yards with o...

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.

What's more, the gunslinger was extremely efficient, completing 77.8 percent of his passes. Jennings seems to only improve each week for the Mustangs.

He hadn't previously topped 150 yards passing this season. Jennings has firm control of the QB1 role in Dallas and he appears to only be getting better week in and week out.

Announced as starting quarterback moving forward Jennings has taken over starting duties from Prestone Stone and will lead the Mustangs under center moving forward, Jacob Richman of LoneStarLive.com reports.

Impact Jennings will continue to start for SMU when the Mustangs take on TCU in Week 4. The 6-foot redshirt sophomore has thrown for 342 yards (29-of-51), one touchdown and one interception across three appearances this year. This decision may come as a surprise to some with Prestone Stone, SMU's 2023-24 starter, posting 336 passing yards (25-of-43), three touchdowns and one interception splitting reps with Jennings. Nevertheless, Jennings took all but nine snaps under center against BYU in Week 2 and will be the starter for SMU moving forward.

Continues to lead the way at QB Jennings completed 15 of 32 passes for 140 yards and one interception during Friday's 18-15 loss versus Brigham Young. He also had nine rushes for 38 yards.

Impact Jennings once again accounted for the majority of the production at quarterback for the Mustangs. In comparison, the so-called "starter" Preston Stone completed 2-of-4 passes for four yards. Jennings, meanwhile, didn't play all that well, throwing an interception and completing less than 50 percent of his passes. Still, this is looking more and more like Jennings' offense, and if fantasy managers were to play an SMU quarterback, Jennings is the only logical choice at this juncture.

Playing time will continue Jennings will continue to get reps at quarterback for the Mustangs, per Jacob Richman of LoneStarLive.com.

Impact Jennings actually out-played the "starter" Preston Stone in Week 1 against Houston Christian. The quarterback threw 14 passes while Stone only thew nine, and Jennings' rushing ability was on full display as well with 54 yards and a score. This is one of the most intriguing quarterback situations in the country, as both players appear capable and head coach Rhett Lashlee can't seem to commit to one, even though he maintains that Stone is the starter.

Leads the way at quarterback Jennings was 10-for-14 passing for 148 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-7 win over Houston Christian. He also had five rushes for 54 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Jennings was SMU's top quarterback in Week 2, pacing presumed starter Preston Stone in every category. This is certainly an interesting development in Dallas. While Stone still tossed for two touchdowns, Jennings threw five more passes and showed off his legs with 54 yards on the ground and one score. Head coach Rhett Lashlee is clearly enamored with Jennings' athleticism, and he may be well on his way to supplanting Stone as the lead signal caller for the Mustangs.
