DL: 55,30,10,13,52,50,94,97,92,90,98,1= 13
LB: 5,8,17,43,26,16= 6
DB: 19,29,3(soon)11,24,6,15,9,27,21,31(at end of WSU)= 11

I am probably missing some, but playing at least 30 players during close games is impressive. I know we've had a few injuries, but to have several guys who have played with pressure will help down the line.

Please add other players I may have missed except garbage time versus ASU

I noticed this during the Ole Miss game. The announcers kept saying how our defense should be worn down given the TOP difference. Obviously, there was no drop off. If anything, it looked like Ole Miss wore themselves out.

I know most teams rotate a good bit of defensive players, but we play a bunch of guys on meaningful snaps.

Jonathan Jones #3 will contribute soon as well.

Being fully healthy will only add to the rotation

The participation chart numbers on defense between Ole Miss and Auburn was significant... we played nearly twice as many guys on D as the rebels did.

We did get tired, though... it really showed on Ole Miss's last TD drive, especially the slow-arse screen pass that capped it off... we were really slow reacting to that play.

I like that approach. This boads well for future games and next year.

I noticed that too. It seemed like 43 just stood there waiting to be blocked out of bounds and no one went for the ball carrier.
