SMU Player Gets Hurt Celebrating Big Kickoff Return vs. Baylor, Madness Ensues

Friday’s game between Baylor and SMU got real heated, real fast.

Too much so for one Mustang, who over-celebrated when his team answered a quick score by the Bears with a 49-yard kickoff return. 

Hope that's nothing serious.

On that very same play, a different SMU player got flattened while attempting to block:

Ouch.

The underdogs scored in heroic fashion, though. Quarterback Matt Davis chucked a bomb up for wideout Courtland Sutton, and he hauled it in for a touchdown:

In the opening 67 seconds of the contest, both teams had put seven points on the board. The stadium wasn’t even filled up yet:

But it didn’t take long for Baylor to strike again. In fact, it was less than a minute before QB Jake Russell punched it in after a 60-yard completion brought the Bears into enemy territory:

SMU kept on clawing and put another seven points on the board in a hurry, making it 14-14 with just over seven minutes left in the first quarter.

Just when you think the smoke is starting to clear, another explosion goes off.

Unless Baylor thoroughly pulls away, this will be tough to turn off.
