SMU’s New Era Meets Virginia Tech | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia Tech faces a revitalized SMU in Dallas — the Mustangs, now ACC newcomers, boast a top-30 preseason SP+ ranking and a lethal QB in Kevin Jennings, who’s thrown for 6,800 yards and 49 TDs while rushing for 400 yards and 9 scores. Despite losing key O-line talent, they’ve stocked up with fresh firepower like Kendrick Raphael (who torched VT last year) and new WRs Yannick Smith and Theo Melin Öhrström. Defensively, SMU’s rebuilt under new coordinators, with standout DE Marques White (10.5 TFL, 5 sacks) leading the charge. This marks their first meeting since the 70s — and VT’s got their work cut out for them against a hungry, talented, and dangerous Mustang squad.
