SMU swaggers into ACC clash with Stanford

SMU aims to extend its 18-game conference winning streak as Stanford seeks to rebound from injuries and a bye week in their third-ever meeting.

  • This Saturday at 11 a.m. local, SMU Mustangs will host Stanford Cardinal in Dallas in their third meeting after SMU's 40-10 win last year.
  • SMU's recent playoff appearance and program momentum explain the matchup's stakes, while Stanford arrives after a bye week that followed a comeback win and rested injured players Jahsiah Galvan and Simione Pale.
  • Both teams have shown game-changing plays, from fourth-and-10 conversions to big fourth-quarter comebacks, with Gulbranson throwing five touchdowns and Jennings completing 29 of 35 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns.
  • A win would strengthen SMU's hold atop the ACC, while a Stanford victory would boost bowl hopes and season momentum.
  • Reich warned that the schedule and next opponents make this a pivotal stretch for Stanford, noting the kickoff at 9 a.m. PT and upcoming games against Florida State and Miami.
