SMU coach Rhett Lashlee announced a quarterback change during the team’s bye week on Tuesday.
Kevin Jennings will start in place of Preston Stone when the Mustangs (2-1) host rival TCU (2-0) on Sept. 21.
Jennings took over after Stone was sacked twice in SMU’s first two series in last Friday’s 18-15 loss to BYU. Jennings finished with 140 yards on 15-of-32 passing with one interception, plus nine carries for 38 yards.
Both quarterbacks played in each of the first three games, including a 29-24 win at Nevada on Aug. 24 and a 59-7 victory over Houston Christian on Aug. 31.
Stone has completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 336 yards with three touchdowns and one interception this season. Jennings is at 56.9 percent with 342 yards, one TD and one pick. Jennings has also rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown.
Stone passed for 3,197 yards with 28 TDs and six interceptions in 12 games last season. Jennings started in the American Athletic Conference championship game win against Tulane, throwing for 203 yards and one TD.
The Mustangs play their Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Florida State on Sept. 28 in Dallas.
