The SMU Mustangs took a 45-0 shellacking from Baylor Sunday night, but the Mustangs weren't without a highlight. And this one comes with a familiar name: Deion Sanders, Jr.

The sophomore wide receiver broke a 58-yard kickoff return against the Bears, showing some impressive speed in cutting through the heart of the Bears' kickoff coverage unit:

Sanders Jr. returned five kickoffs for 131 yards to tie a career high. And it's not the first time he's broken a long one -- last year, he had an 87-yard return against Temple.

Meanwhile, his Pro Football Hall of Fame dad was pumped up for the game.
