HALFTIME: No. 16 SMU Leads No. 23 Louisville 17-14
- At halftime, SMU led Louisville 17-14. Kevin Jennings had 132 passing yards, one TD and one interception; Kendrick Raphael had 81 rushing yards on 11 carries and a TD, including four carries for 55 yards on SMU's opening drive. These are first-half figures, not final totals.
- The halftime report faults Louisville's late possession for using only 35 seconds before returning the ball to SMU with 1:14 left. SMU then moved 21 yards in five plays and made a 46-yard field goal for its halftime lead; the sequence highlights possession management rather than a final-game outcome.
