SMU’s Kevin Jennings got roasted for his awful first half

SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings made a series of high-profile mistakes in Saturday’s College Football Playoff game against Penn State, and social media wasted no time roasting him for it.

Jennings made two disastrous mistakes by throwing a pair of pick-sixes to the Penn State defense in the first 17 minutes of Saturday’s game. Jennings seemed panicked and was forcing passes, a problem that plagued him throughout the first half.

While not as big a mistake as the interceptions, one play was indicative of Jennings’ struggles. On a 4th and 1 deep inside Penn State territory, Jennings passed up the chance to pick up the first down by running and threw downfield. One can understand his instincts, but the pass was dropped and SMU came away with nothing instead of simply extending the drive.
