In a win that say a technical delay, multiple turnovers, and a career day for senior quarterback Kevin Jennings. SMU comes out on top in season opener on the road

Florida State faces a critical ACC opener against No. 19 SMU on Monday night. The Seminoles had the benefit of a Week 0 tune-up game, but the performance was lackluster in a 34-17 win over New Mexico State.

The No. 19-ranked Mustangs weathered a power outage at Doak Walker Stadium and stunned Florida State at home on a game-winning drive.

If Florida State couldn't take advantage of the opportunities SMU gave it late Monday night, how can it be a contender in the ACC?

SMU rolled up close to 600 yards of total offense against Florida State, but the team made a lot of mistakes along the way.

Kevin Jennings threw for a career-high 430 yards and three touchdowns to guide the Mustangs past the Seminoles following a nearly two-hour power outage delay in Tallahassee.

Kevin Jennings and the No. 19 SMU Mustangs surely started their campaign in a unique way. They shut the lights out on a potential Florida State comeback with a 27-24 win on Monday night. The night started in chaotic fashion.

The Noles can't catch a break, especially in the dark.
