SMU was the only college football game on Labor Day and on primetime national television, and they didn't disappoint.

Florida State's Labor Day loss to SMU stretched college football beyond Saturday, but the close score at Doak Campbell Stadium may save Mike Norvell.

Defense was ugly, but somehow the offense for Florida State was even worse, only managing to throw for 125 yard and going 2-for-15 on third down. The final play of the game really said it all, with the desperate Seminoles flailing around on the final play without a lot of direction, ending it all in an interception.

SMU is a 2.5-point favorite on the road, per the latest FanDuel Sportsbook odds, and the Over/Under for total points scored is 54.5. The Seminoles are in the midst of a pivotal season that will have a major impact on the future of the program, while the Mustangs are trying to get back into the CFP conversation in 2026.

In a win that say a technical delay, multiple turnovers, and a career day for senior quarterback Kevin Jennings. SMU comes out on top in season opener on the road

Kevin Jennings and the No. 19 SMU Mustangs surely started their campaign in a unique way. They shut the lights out on a potential Florida State comeback with a 27-24 win on Monday night. The night started in chaotic fashion.

Kevin Jennings threw for a career-high 430 yards and three touchdowns to guide the Mustangs past the Seminoles following a nearly two-hour power outage delay in Tallahassee.
