We were on third and fourth string LB's, and sometimes DB's. I'd say our D was hurt by injuries this season and thats why it seemed to worsen. I didn't much care for Lane's playcalling, but I think that monte's D was a thing of beauty.
After watching Reviez and Frazier fill they're gaps and make plays on the ball, I noticed Lathers being out of position A LOT. Mistakes a 3rd string freshman MLB will do, but that Ole Miss game was a disaster for him.
Every team has injuries every year.
Injuries weren't what prevented the greatest defensive playmaker in UT history from being mis-used (and against V-Tech, abused).
Just look at the stats, it's all there.
And Monte had a friendlier offense keeping his defense off the field than last year's.
