The Sunday Hangover

A look back at the Texas State @ Southern Methodist game:

• Texas State dominated SMU in time of possession (34:33 to 25:27) and held a slight edge in total offense (465 to 431). The Bobcats abused the Mustangs' rush defense for 233 yards and converted 12-of-15 first downs.
• By the look of the statistics, it would seem like Texas State won the game, except for one category — turnovers. The Bobcats turned the ball over five times (three fumbles and two interceptions). 
• Texas State's secondary was no match for the trio of Bo Levi Mitchell (QB), Emmanuel Sanders (WR) and Aldrick Robinson (WR). Mitchell connected with Sanders and Robinson for 310 yards and five touchdowns.
• For the second straight week, Bobcat starting quarterback Bradley George struggled. In two games this season, George is 3-of-11 passing with two interceptions. Two of the fumbles in the first half came off poor reads by George on the option.
• One of the fumbles should never have happened, according to Karrington Bush. "(The ball) hit off my helmet actually. It was supposed to be a handoff, but (George) pitched it."
