Let's take a look at the snap count totals for the Bulldogs in the defeat.

After getting banged up a week ago, Austin Kendall showed some guts Saturday afternoon and somehow played 100% of the snaps even though he faced pressure on 34% of his drop backs.
Tre Harris played 59% of the snaps at receiver and had his first career 100-yard game.
Marcus Williams lead all RBs in playing 49% of the snaps.
Carson Rieder saw his first extended action at TE and had one big 48-yard catch down the field.
Defensively, the Bulldogs faced 91 plays from the SMU offense.
With Jaiden Cole out due to injury, the Bulldogs went with a 3-man rotation at safety. Beejay Williamson (86%), Khalil Ladler (71%), and Myles Mason (55%) combined to handle the duties with Cole out.
With Levi Bell leaving the game early due to injury, Rasheed Lyles saw a substantial increase in his snaps playing 46% of the snaps.
