I ain't worried about the defense overall. Hell, UT had two guys out which put Sutton out of position. Things got tightened up in the second half a bit so I'm not too worried. If I did have a worry, it is with the Sam linebacker. He got handled by BG experienced line. He is a walk on who is in the starting role...what does this say about our talent pool at that position?

Nothing. Our problem at MLB isn't talent - we've got tons of that, including that walkon who isn't your typical walkon as he had DI offers and took a scholly to play at Navy because he wanted to be a Naval officer but he got struck by the Navy because of a health condition, he was forced to do prep got more DI offers but his heart was at UT where he's actually a legacy player. Our problem is with experience of which we have zero.

Kirkland will take the MLB spot soon, imo. And a healthy Dillon Bates will likely move to OLB. Jumper (the walkon who I believe is on scholly now) will play quality reps.
