Tom Sawyer
FameRank: 8

"Thomas "Tom" Sawyer" is the title character of the Mark Twain novel Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896).

Sawyer also appears in at least three unfinished Twain works, Huck and Tom Among the Indians, Schoolhouse Hill, and Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy. While all three uncompleted works were posthumously published, only Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy has a complete plot, as Twain abandoned the other two works after finishing only a few chapters.

The offense was unstoppable at times, but we just couldn't get the ball in the end zone. We had almost 400 yards and only 16 points, and that was mostly because of assignments and effort.

It is really a pretty crucial time right now.

We were really hoping to be 2-0 when we got there, but we'll take 1-1. This is a great opportunity for us, and I hope we rise to the occasion and play them tough.

Hynes did a nice job in the receiving part of his game, but everyone made mistakes out there.

I thought Boettcher did a nice job.

I think we maybe underestimated our opponent a little bit. We weren't as focused as we needed to be and we made a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball.

We're upset. We should be upset. We got beat by a team that just wanted it more that day, and we have to rebound.

We had too many missed blocking assignments, and that takes you out of your game.

It was scattered. They weren't playing well and then all of a sudden we fell apart. We were kind of out of sync. That's the way we played all last week, but I was glad we snapped out of it. … That drive to score when we had to going into the locker room was huge. We really felt like we could get it done.
