  "account": "SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings is limited in fall practice due to a jammed finger in his throwing hand. The injury occurred when he slammed it in a locker room door. However, there is no worry about Jennings' readiness for the season opener against Florida State on September 7th. Coach Rhett Lashlee stated that the injury is \"just a really bad jam\" with no long-term effects. Jennings has an impressive track record, including 7,709 yards and 55 touchdowns in 39 games. The university is honoring him with a \"K7NG OF DALLAS\" campaign and plans to name a recovery center after him. Redshirt freshman Ty Hawkins is stepping up as the first-team quarterback during the preparation period.",
