That was the closest game of absolute domination I’ve ever seen in my life.

What the actual Fk SMU. What the absolute Fk.

Dude, we did this in 1947 with a potential title on the line against TCU when they were .500 at the end of the season. We went undefeated but with four draws including nothing all at Nebraska in 1929 and were runner up to TCU in the SWC that year and Dickinson's match system put us at 9 right behind them nationally. Then there's that dakn Rose Bowl against Stanford in 1935 after winning the Dickinson system natty where they played a scripted drive when that wasn't popular and then turtled up for the rest of the game. It's like we're cursed for inventing the balanced offense.

That’s because you didn’t dominate that game lol.

The stats say otherwise. 4 turnovers is inexcusable. If you put up those types of numbers and don’t turn the ball over that many times, plus clean up some boneheaded penalties, the result is a blowout.

Stats only indicate stats. You outgsined us by 2000 years and only because your had a couple of big plays which skew the stats. Domination is reflected on the scoreboard and you won by 3.

Keep inhaling the copium, bud. Sloppy play can be fixed through practice and discipline. Not being able to convert 3rd downs or put up yards? That’s a much larger task.

If sloppy players can be fixed so easily, why is Jennings throwing the same picks he always has.

The first pick was a result of the receiver running the wrong route, the second was bad. Fix the route issue, and don’t muff the punt, and it could’ve easily been a double digit victory for SMU. Many of the turnovers could be fixed. Kevin has certainly proven to be a liability at times, especially in his single season as the full-time starter, but I’m not going to write off his potential because of a sloppy first game. Put the copium down and go to bed.
