In comparison, Louisville as a whole finished the first half with 177 yards, 144 of which were thrown by quarterback Tyler Shough. The Cardinals had 33 rushing yards in the first 30 minutes, but with Jennings rushing for almost as many yards in this game’s first half as he had on the season through Week 5 (149 yards), they just couldn’t keep up.

Kevin Jennings passed and rushed for career highs, Isaiah Nwokobia intercepted an end-zone pass with 2:23 left to seal it, and SMU overcame blowing a double-digit lead to beat No. 22 Louisville 34-27 on Saturday.

The win over Louisville was SMU’s first against an AP top-25 team since defeating Tulane on Dec. 2 in the AAC championship game.
