SMU Named Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Team of the Week

DALLAS, TX – Following a thrilling 26-20 overtime victory over No. 10 Miami, SMU Football has been named the Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The win marked the Mustangs’ first triumph over a top-10 opponent since the 1983 Cotton Bowl and their highest-ranked home win since 2016.

Quarterback Kevin Jennings led the Mustangs with a career performance, while running back T.J. Harden sealed the victory with a one-yard touchdown in overtime. Safety Ahmaad Moses set up the game-winning score with an interception at the 1-yard line, his second of the night, capping a dominant defensive effort that included a career-high 15 tackles and two tackles for loss.

Moses earned multiple national honors for his play, including Senior Bowl Stock Up Defensive Player of the Week and ACC Defensive Back of the Week, while Jennings was recognized on the Davey O’Brien Great 8 and Manning Award Stars of the Week lists.

Receiver Jordan Hudson also made history with career-highs of 11 catches for 136 yards, becoming the first Mustang with 10+ receptions in a game since Rashee Rice in 2022.

This recognition marks SMU’s third FWAA Team of the Week award and first since 2019. The Mustangs have now won 13 straight home conference games and stand 12-1 in ACC play since joining the conference.
