SMU’s Holiday Bowl “Win” EXPOSES Everything WRONG With College Football in a STUNNING display of INCOMPETENCE masquerading as victory. Backup-turned-“hero” Kevin Jennings’ 278 yards were a FRAUD, built on a single gimmick trick play to start the game before he UNRAVELED, gifting Arizona THREE catastrophic interceptions in a second-half MELTDOWN that should have ended in historic shame.
This wasn’t a triumph; it was a NEAR-APOCALYPTIC COLLAPSE waiting to happen. The SMU Mustangs, who famously CHOKED away a 20-point lead in the final minutes of the 1980 Holiday Bowl, were poised to repeat INFAMY after building a 24-0 lead. That they clung to a 5-point win against a stunned and sluggish No. 21 Arizona is NOT a credit to SMU—it’s a DAMNING INDICTMENT of a ranked Wildcats program that showed NO HEART and NO URGENCY until it was far too late.
The REAL scandal? This game is a MICROCOSM of the sport’s rot. In an era where loyalty is DEAD, drowned by NIL cash and portal free agency, the narrative will tout Jennings and Arizona’s Noah Fifita as rare loyalists. But ask yourself: Is it loyalty, or a shocking LACK of ambition from players who just proved they CANNOT perform under bright lights? This was a bowl of UNDERACHIEVERS, a prime-time showcase of why the sport’s “new era” feels so HOLLOW and PREDICTABLE.
We are left with one disturbing question: In a system this broken, does winning even MEAN anything anymore?
