SMU’s offensive line earned PFF recognition after the Mustangs rushed for 256 yards and five touchdowns while allowing one sack in a 59-20 big victory over Cal.

DALLAS (AP) — Kevin Jennings threw three touchdowns to break SMU's career record, Kendrick Raphael ran for 104 yards against his former team while accounting for three scores and the No. 23 Mustangs beat California 59-20 after trailing at halftime on Saturday.

SMU outscored Cal 42-0 after halftime, piling up 306 second-half yards as Kevin Jennings and Kendrick Raphael powered a 59-20 victory.

Kendrick Raphael helped California stun SMU last season. Now the running back faces the Golden Bears in a Mustangs uniform, giving No. 23 SMU another reason to take the Golden Bears seriously.

Raphael had the Mustangs in a spin last season, but now that he's on SMU's side, Jennings is glad he doesn't have to face him.
