Something is wrong with Sawyer. One cut and that's 20 more yards.

This offense is fun to watch. It's unfortunate it's being paired with a defense that makes me want to commit Seppuku.

He really slid early. I'm guessing the coaches have told him repeatedly if you take off do not let yourself get hit.

He did leave a lot of yardage on the field with that slide.

He had a little limp last week. It's a lot like a muscle tightening

He's right. Sawyer was well into his slide before the hit.

If you're going to call it this tight than the targeting absolutely should have been called

Was wondering how they were going to replace the telegraphed sweep to Monaray for a 2 yard loss.

Almost feels like the officiating crew felt guilt about the ref tripping Jennings so they overcompensated our next possession.

Sawyer has so much more power floating to his right and SMU is starting to shut that down

I didn't see him the entire possession. Hopefully he is not hurt.

Not sure, but that's a huge loss in the red zone.
