Kevin Jennings And Yamir Knight Earn Earl Campbell Honors After Huge SMU Win

Following a thirty-four to twenty-four triumph over Missouri State, standout performers Kevin Jennings and Yamir Knight collected Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week Honorable Mention acknowledgments. Jennings orchestrated the offensive display by connecting on thirty-three of thirty-nine pass attempts for four hundred sixty-four yards and three scores, alongside an additional rushing touchdown.

His remarkable performance featured twenty-one consecutive completions, which established a new program benchmark while setting an Atlantic Coast Conference single-game milestone for the second-longest streak. Additionally, Jennings surpassed previous school milestones by claiming the all-time records for passing yards at nine thousand one hundred sixty-two, total completions at seven hundred twenty-two, and total touchdowns responsible for at seventy-eight, eclipsing Tanner Mordecai's prior mark.

Knight contributed significantly to the victory as the primary target for Jennings, hauling in eleven passes for a personal-best one hundred sixty-four yards and a touchdown, which included a late twenty-eight-yard score to secure the outcome. The senior wideout accumulated two hundred eight all-purpose yards by adding forty-four yards through punt returns.

Despite falling behind early by ten points, the duo guided the Mustangs to the finish line at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
