Newton seems to be getting on the ground

instead of getting hit this game. First, I've seen of that all year..

The number of times he has been hit and carried the ball each week has got to be taking its toll on him. Seems to be diving and sliding a good bit when he was squaring his shoulders and hitting guys head on.

It's next week before the Bama game. They may have played UTC last week, but you still have to practice and play the game, so it isn't like they got an off week. They have got to be tired and ready for a rest. I think that is playing a factor in this game today.
