3 Stars of the Game vs. Tennessee

***

For the second straight week, it is all defense.

***

Star #1 – Colin Simmons

No explanation needed. The most impressive single game performance I have ever seen.

 

Star #2 – Maraad Watson

Watson has exceeded expectations this year and was a force on the interior Saturday vs. Tennessee.  Five pressures, a sack and four hurries on the quarterback, that is phenomenal stuff from the defensive lineman.

 

Star #3 – Lance Jackson

How about nine total pressures from Jackson. We talk often about who will balance out the opposite side of the defensive line from Colin Simmons, well Jackson did exactly that. Good luck defending both guys if that is the performance Texas is getting from each.

 

Honorable Mentions:

Jelani McDonald – Several big tackles, very good in run support and the game-sealing batted pass on the final play of the game.

Hero Kanu – As consistent and reliable as anyone on the defense. Four pressures, a sack and two hurries as well. Dominant from Kanu.

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

If OL can be star 1 for tOSU, I’m giving star 1 to the DL. Simmons was crazy good  but that was the entire line wrecking shop all game.

No doubt. Entire unit was phenomenal.

How about 42 pressures on the day.

How about all that talk about how good Tenn RB game was leading up to Saturday? We shut them down along with the scrambling QB.

[Red Five]

Five dudes on defense sounds about right.

DL so dominant Biles doesn’t get an HM with 13 tackles
