heard on one of the post-game talking head takes that denzel didn't play in the 2nd half... is that right or did i not hear what they said correctly?

Matthews was in A LOT in the 2nd half.

Honestly I only remember the tackle he missed and didn't get the dude to the ground otherwise he was invisible which is generally a good sign for a cb

I thought the article said that they don't know whether he was dealing with an injury or was benched. I didn't think Burke did badly enough to be benched but there's always behind the scenes stuff going on.

Yeah, that wasn't really on him. He made a good play. The Texas player just made a better one.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Sounds like he'll be good to go.

"Day said the decision to remove Burke had nothing to do with his performance."

Based on this, he wasn't benched.

 

[Steve19]

That missed tackle was huge. I hope he pulls himself toward himself in this final game

False. He had an upper body injury over Coach Day.

Heres an idea...

Denzel didn't bring the guy down and the coaches said, let's see about 24 here. To give 10 a break when he was hurting... because they have faith in Matthews also

It must have been the other upper extremity :)
