Gonna have to disagree about the ILBs. Metz played his arse off. In fact, he led the team in tackles for the game (13) and had the fumble recovery. He also dealt some vicious licks.

I really thought the strength of this team was going to be the defense this year. I thought they were going to be a really good unit. Maybe they still will be but for now it appears we are way weaker than anticipated in the secondary.

Completely agree. He consistently plays with ultra high effort and I love it. And he’s a damn talented LBer. This guy would have gotten snaps even in prime Saban-era ILB rooms.

I just thought the room as a whole did too much chasing. Wasn’t their fault in every instance, but it’s hard for me to give any of the 3 levels a “nice job done” based on the performance against USCe.

Ultimately, I like our defensive front, but the secondary really needs to play at a much higher level.
