Giving this man his flowers. Thought the defensive game plan versus Oregon would involve more front mixing and blitzing than last time, but instead a lot of the improvement seemed to me to just be greatly improved LB play.

Yes the LBs have gone from the liability early in the season to playing really well

Really quiet game from Sonny Styles too but that didn’t matter with how well James has Simon playing.

I love James. Thoughtful and well-spoken man.

Really happy to see JL be part of a title team. Few players deserved one as much as he did (and he and his classmates were damn close). Obviously not quite the same, but cool to see regardless.

Great addition Coach James was. Sonny and Cody came on strong this year. He’s crushing it!
