Eliot made it sound like tackling was disappointing today. Sense from both him and Stoops was not a great day for the D.


They should get the Australian Women's Rugby Team to visit and show the players how to tackle. They don't even wear pads and there doesn't seem to be any timeouts.

Of course we should show them a thing or two about arm tackling.

West was our starting Free safety and now either McClain or McWilson will be.

He will be missed and yes, he could petition for a 6th year when the time comes.

McClain is the known. He will be starting safety in base and on the field as much as possible. If Kendal Randolph can be trusted to cover and run support, McClain will stay at safety in nickel. If not, McClain moves to nickel back and McWilson takes Safety.

But it will all be fluid throughout the game based on who needs a blow when. Everyone will play plenty.

One name we haven't heard mentioned much is Marcus Walker. Time for him to step up.

Going by memory here, but for those asking about Marcus Walker, he hasn't shown enough (yet) to step up on the depth chart. I think one they have mentioned as possibly moving up is Gilliam.

Marcus Walker is a RS frosh. Not sure if this is his time or not.

Harmon played some safety on Saturday. And, they are being creative with Kobie Walker. Randolph will be the nickel. Stoops is confident in him.
