6 kickoff returns in one game is never a good sign, unless your opponent has 8 or 9...

You got 2 interceptions, both thrown to defensive linemen. That's something I've never seen before.

I've also never seen a D1 team, not even post-DP SMU, finish a game with -8 (Negative Eight) yards rushing. That may be the lowest output on the ground in 30 years or more . I cant believe that the post-game notes made no mention of such a milestone. That brings our season total to a whopping 125 yards rushing, an average of 31.6 yards per game.

Other odds and ends:

The loud speaker system is WAY too loud :!: I couldn't hear think much less hear my friends talk through most of the game.

Someone said that there are 7,500 hardcore SMU fans. Actually there are about 5,000 hardcore season ticket holders and 2,500 new ticket holders that might not remain holders next year if Bo doesn't get his act together. We will see who is really hardcore next year if this keeps up. :roll:

The scenery at the game was worth the price of admission. Why bother watching the game when there is so much good looking talent in the stands! :wink:

Probably cause he is to small to be a blocker, and when he would come in the defense would know it is a run.

Only time I have seen him in there is with Turner, but his size is a factor. Martin is a big guy and does well on blocking, I don't think Butler or Henderson could consistently block those big guys from TCU or Tech.
