What they’re saying nationally at Stanford after SMU beat the Cardinal

The No. 21 SMU Mustangs won their fourth straight game, defeating the Stanford Cardinal 40-10 at Stanford Stadium.

The Mustangs won their eighth straight real road game, scoring 21 points in the first quarter for a lopsided victory.

It wasn’t SMU’s cleanest performance, but the ACC road win doesn’t rate poorly for the Mustangs.

Quarterback Kevin Jennings threw for 322 yards and three touchdowns. He spread the wealth around, giving eight receivers at least one catch.

Here’s a look at what was written nationally and at Stanford after the game.

“It wasn’t long before chants of “SMU” rang out at Stanford Stadium for the first time.” (East Bay Times)

“Stanford’s young secondary was in trouble as SMU quickly scored 21 points to take a quick, dominant lead. After three touchdowns to zero, the game seemed out of reach. To make matters worse, more than half of the cheering crowd at Stanford Stadium appeared to be a sea of ​​blue – the registered attendance of 19,117 seemed generous.” (The Stanford Daily)

“This is complete dominance. It’s hard to imagine that’s a conference opponent you’re playing against. It really looked like it was two teams in different stratospheres.” (ACC Network)
