Now that they have more experience under their belt and added strength, they are ready to perform. Another way to look at it is that this program was devoid of talent so Sawtelle got to play. Sawtelle could not start from any P5 program and probably wouldn't get much run on special teams. Again, do you want a championship or give participation trophies? If you want this program to elevate its status then we must put P5 type players on the roster. Now that we can contact P5 players via the portal, the dynamics have changed. Sawtelle is easily our 3rd best defensive player behind Hampton and Reaves. You're telling me that nobody on our defense would start on Vanderbilt? Kansas? Duke? This is why people ask if you have something personal against Nico, because there is no way you can think he is that bad. The only thing you've said about him is that he's slow, but he is always in position, and is a better tackler than most of our team. You don't judge players on speed / athleticism alone. Give me a smart instinctual middle linebacker with a high motor any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we miss him like crazy. Sawtelle, while maybe not quite as good as Sanchez but I don't really know, was missed last half of last year and will be missed this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawtelle is slow and not good in space. Very unreliable!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to happen it just happened early. Time to stop whining and feeling sorry and move on...I am sure the players on the team have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not feeling sorry and I know we have some talented kids waiting in the wings, but Wisconsin was the one game that I really wanted him to be ready for. I liked our chances better with him than without him. We have discussed the other options and, right now, they are just a bunch of question marks.
