That's because they were young and inexperienced. 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

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.

People crapped all over Sanchez when he was playing because he wasn't fast enough or strong enough.  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.

I'm positive he couldn't start at Vandy. 

To slow for ACC and Big 12 pass HAPPY O's. Sanchez was slow but solid. Sawtelle is slow and not good in space. Very unreliable!!!!

Again, there is no way the kid would have survived an entire season without being hurt. 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.

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.

Darius Williams is the future at middle linebacker. He already has the size and his instincts on tape are impressive.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
