SMU dominated Virginia on the road in Week 13, winning 33-7 behind a commanding offensive performance led by quarterback Kevin Jennings.

Jennings completed passes for 323 yards and orchestrated an efficient SMU offense that scored touchdowns in three of four quarters. The Mustangs opened strong with a 7-0 first-quarter lead and extended their advantage to 17-0 by halftime. Despite adding only 3 points in the third quarter, SMU put the game away with 13 fourth-quarter points.

Virginia's lone score came late in the fourth quarter on an Anthony Colandrea touchdown pass to Malachi Fields, but the Cavaliers' offensive struggles were evident throughout. Colandrea was sacked by Jared Harrison-Hunte for a critical loss in the third quarter.

SMU's receiving corps was productive, with Kelvontay Dixon leading receivers with 89 yards, while Brashard Smith rushed for 63 yards. Key plays included a 52-yard Jennings completion to Moochie Dixon early in the game and a 31-yard fourth-quarter strike to LJ Johnson Jr. that set up another score.

The victory represented a dominant road performance for the Mustangs, who covered the 10.5-point spread decisively.
