What to expect in SMU vs. Clemson matchup

Under coach Rhett Lashlee, the Mustangs have exceeded expectations, achieving back-to-back 11-win seasons. Dual-threat quarterback Kevin Jennings has been a key factor, stepping into the starting role midseason and leading the offense. SMU’s defense has also stepped up, allowing just 13 points in its last two games combined.

Meanwhile, Clemson’s season has been a mix of highs and lows. Despite falling short of playoff contention for a fourth straight year, coach Dabo Swinney's team has raised the bar with Cade Klubnik as the backbone of the Tigers’ offense, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 29 touchdowns while adding seven rushing scores.

This high-powered game is expected to be thrilling with some quality defense game from both teams. Some defensive players to look out for are Clemson's sophomore defensive tackle Peter Woods who is expected to be critical in disrupting SMU’s ground game, especially against running back Brashard Smith. The Mustangs’ safety Isaiah Nwokobia, with 91 tackles this season, is crucial in both coverage and run defense.
