  "account": "Kevin Jennings shattered SMU's career touchdown passing record as the No. 23 Mustangs defeated California 59-20 on Saturday. Jennings completed three touchdowns, surpassing Tanner Mordecai's 2021-22 mark of 72 TDs. Kendrick Raphael contributed 104 rushing yards and three scores, including two on fourth-down plays. The Mustangs (6-1, 4-1 ACC) trailed at halftime but scored on their first six drives after the break, with Jennings' record-breaking 73rd career TD pass being the third. Freshman Christian Rhodes added two rushing touchdowns. California's Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who started for the first time in three games due to a concussion, completed 27 of 37 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown, but the Bears opened the second half with three consecutive three-and-outs. SMU's Jennings, already their career leader in passing yards (9,766) and completions (781), surpassed the 72 TDs by Mordecai with his 73rd. The Mustangs are 11-0 at home and 18-3 overall in ACC games since joining the league in 2024. California is next scheduled to play at N.C. State.",
