QUARTERBACK

• Kevin Jennings is SMU's projected starter

  9.68 Y/A

  Kevin Jennings is SMU's projected starting quarterback. Not confirmed by SMU. The SB Nation preview on Yahoo (Oct 29) calls senior Kevin Jennings the starter and says he has a 'cleaner bill of health this year.' Roundtable on Yahoo (Oct 29) reports he threw for 223 yards and three touchdowns vs. Cal and has 2,062 passing yards this season, with no injury listed. Roundtable (Oct 30) discusses his play this season. None of the reports opened mention an injury from last game or limited practice this week. 2026 line: 2082 passing yards, 72.6% completions, 9.68 yards per attempt, 19-5 TD-INT over 7 games.

• Steve Angeli is SYR's projected starter

  7.16 Y/A

  Steve Angeli is SYR's projected starting quarterback. Not confirmed by Syracuse. RotoWire (Oct 28) said the ACC availability report listed Angeli as questionable for SMU. It said this was unclear whether it's the same issue that cost him three games, and that Danny Lauter would likely start if Angeli can't. RotoWire (Oct 30) said he is expected to play per the ACC availability report, after first being listed questionable. Roundtable on Yahoo (Oct 30) said he is expected to make his fifth start and had a PRP injection in his Achilles earlier this season. WAER (Oct 30) said he made his first start in more than a month in last week's game at North Carolina, after missing several weeks with lingering lower-body soreness from an Achilles injury. Fran Brown said 'Steve's finally back to himself a little bit more.' 2026 line: 960 passing yards, 55.2% completions, 7.16 yards per attempt, 5-5 TD-INT over 4 games.

PACE & SCRIPT

• SMU @ SYR carries a 58.5 market total

  58.5

  The market prices 58.5 here, 7 points above the 51.5 slate median across 33 games, so it expects plenty of possessions and points from both sides. That holds only if neither offense goes cold for long stretches. A slow first quarter with traded punts is the earliest sign the high expectation is off.
