Mr. Sawtelle you have my heartfelt apology for doubting/questioning your ability in a prior topic last week. It's an easy thing to do sitting in this chair in the a/c. You played a great game against GT. Key plays that helped win this ballgame. You were in on plays and making plays. Congrats to you and the rest of the Team on a job well done. Thanks for your effort you make us proud Bull's Fans.

Still a liability in when there is speed to the outside. Not his fault as he would be better suited in a 4-3 alignment. He has a lot of territory he is responsible for.

Honestly, I wouldn't praise the play of anybody in the back of the defense yesterday. Overall, they played the QB keeper and pitch poorly.

Sawtelle was in the right place at the right time twice and I couldn't be more pleased about it. Moving forward, I think we'll fare much better against more conventional offenses.

The fumble he recovered was from trailing the play and the pick was a jump ball where the pressure caused a deflection.  

Two games he has not played well.

Tackling on defense team wide still an issue. A lot of extra yardage given up on missed tackles. CCS addressed this issue and hopefully it is worked on as we continue to stack up our wins.

This D line gets no push.  Its really upsetting because it was suppose to be our strength. It got so bad the true freshmen Yates who is 260 lbs was playing most of the game

I disagree. D line pretty much closed down the dive yesterday which was their job.

This D will have to play 75% better against Houston and ucf if we are to have a chance.
