SMU Running Back Sidelined

Southern Methodist will be without the services of senior running back Traylon Shead on Saturday when the Mustangs play Montana State, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Shead, a former Texas Longhorns running back, suffered a sprained MCL when a Red Raider dragged him down by his collar in SMU’s 41-23 loss to Texas Tech this past Saturday.

Shead had rushed nine times for 25 yards and made three receptions in his debut with SMU before leaving the game.

SMU is awaiting results of an MRI, but the Mustangs are hoping Shead will just miss the one game.
