    SHOCKER: Could SMU Mustangs FALL APART if Kevin Jennings and the DEFENSE Don't IMPROVE?

    SMU Mustangs face critical questions heading into the season—is a double-digit win campaign truly within reach, or could key concerns on defense and the offensive line derail their College Football Playoff ambitions? Grayson Singleton explores the pitfalls that could halt SMU’s momentum, from a diminished pass rush and shaky cornerback play to a potential drop in turnovers on defense. Can SMU replace stars like Isaiah Smith and Cam Robertson while maintaining their ball-hawking identity in ACC play? Offensively, the spotlight is on Kevin Jennings. Does he have what it takes to cut down on turnovers and build rapport with a revamped receiving corps including Jalen Cooper, Jalen Hale, and Yannick Smith? Health looms large as well—with depth concerns on the offensive line, even a single injury could shift SMU’s outlook dramatically. Get the hard-hitting analysis on what could keep the Mustangs from championship contention this season. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
