No. 23 SMU and Cal meet in ACC play

SMU has not turned the ball over in its past two games and is a 17.5-point favorite after beating Virginia last weekend.

  • On Saturday, Dallas hosts an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup between the SMU Mustangs and the Cal Golden Bears, with SMU seeking to reverse last year's regular-season finale loss to the Golden Bears.
  • Quarterback Kevin Jennings has led the Mustangs to victories in their last two games, including a 23-13 win over Virginia, while SMU has protected the football well by committing no turnovers during this winning streak.
  • SMU's offense ranks 14th in the FBS, averaging 470.8 yards per game, while Cal allows opponents to convert 42.4% of third downs, ranking 107th in defensive efficiency.
  • Golden Bears coach Tosh Lupoi said, "Both guys did a good job at times," regarding his quarterback rotation, while SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said, "We're finding ways to win games late."
  • SMU travels to Syracuse next week, while Cal plays at NC State. The Mustangs continue without safety Tyren Polley Jr., though safety Ahmaad Moses may return soon after spinal fusion recovery.
