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

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

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.

People said that (ad nauseam) about Auggie, too...the leading tackler of all-time. That position is more about decision-making and being in the right place than it is about speed & athleticism IMO, even though we'd love to see a guy who has high marks in all areas. If the coaches think he's the best guy to be there, I'll go with it.

The LB position is typically the leading tackler on any team.  We've had some very good ones.  Sam Barrington jumps off the page. 

Auggie was very serviceable.  Great?  That's up for debate.  He lacked speed and athleticism.  Football acumen was off the charts.

Sawtelle had 13 tackles. Not a bad game. I haven’t seen a replay so not sure how much he hurt us on other plays

I think he had a sack too.

Always thought Sam was solid, too, but as far as the leaders for USF, he's #10. There's NFL names below, but the numbers say Auggie was our #1.

Tha phrase is banned here.  I need to check the censored word/phrases list.  

That's hilarious brad...and it brought back bad memories.

Wasn't tthat the year that it had the same kind of feeling like this year?  The "did just enough to win?"  Until a team schemes us and just blow us out of the water?

Nico is a great player.  Good ball skills, tough as nails, and a knack for making plays when it counts.  But imo he's not as strong as you like as your anchoring lb to be.  It seems he has a hard time shedding blocks.  But to his defense he is playing out of his natural position which i believe wlb would be more fitting.

And Big 10 teams have big power based offensive linemen.
