All three just played their best games as Tigers IMO. Pittman was killing his man at the line. Prude broke up about a 1000 yards worth of passes, and Highsmith was everywhere on the field. He is becoming one of our studs on D. It was good to see the Tiger D back to it's old self. Oh yeah, good job Pelini, can't find anything to bitch at you about this game.
Claude Wroten. They couldn't stop him. He was double-teamed and held all night and still made the plays.
Entire D looked really good tonight, let's hope it was not just the vandy offense. If we put that kind of pressure on Leak and the offense can hold on to the ball we will beat Florida. TO's and penalties must end or we will pay for it against top notch competition.
Wroten also, it was only 1 game but hopefully this will give our defense confidence and they will be able to play better here on out. Great job for our defense. I was actually laughing my butt off in the 4th quarter as if I was watching the three stooges. No pun intended! :lol:
Early is stepping up his game and is going on to greatness, watch. Bowe should be going on to greatness but they keep forgetting about him after the first quarter it seems. Skyler never had mnore than 2 regular passes thrown to him the entire game that i remember. I think we will see Bowe and Doucet get the lions share of catches in the future. Justin Vincent ran harder tonight than he has since 2003. If he wouldn't have chosen to go wide on a few runs he may have had a 100 yards. JA continues to impress with his hard runnig and making people miss so effortlessly on the outside, he doesn't even seem to put hardly any move on a guy but blows right pass him. the safety for Vandy that had such a good game will remember trying to tackle Addai for a long, long time. Daniels, another good game on defense. Laron Landry is not making too mny tackles because the linemen and LB's aren't missing many and he is not used in close up run support as much as Daniels now. Everyone on defense tackled great tonight it seemed with very few missed tackles. The first man in is bringing the ballcarrier down and the team is not getting any assist hardly. Impressive. Only 5 assists for this game tonight although that will most likely change after the film is reviewed. Our dline looks fast, real fast. All of them except for Kyle. The DB's didn't blow any coverages that I saw except for the overthrown pass over the middle, which may have been the trailing LB's coverage. Prude played well, glad to see him doing well after all he has been through. He got beat once and was lucky for the underthrown ball but he does have good makeup speed. Jackson had trouble kicking FG's but punted well again. He was jobbed on that ball that was ruled a touchback. Several of the illegal blocks and downfield holding calls were pure bunk IMO. A defensive guy cannot turn his back on the blocker at the last second, that's BS. Those refs really need to review the film and learn.
