Cobb is too slow and Gentry doesnt weigh enough to be able to add to the pass rush. Tackett is still very raw and the question is whether he can even get up to speed to be on the field this year. He has the highest football IQ combined with the speed and strength to make an impact. Raesjon should be on the field, he adds a rush element that is not there without him and has the most speed. Linebackers C- – The problem here is that the wrong guys have been playing. But agree that having zero tackles in 2 games is not good for Sullivan. Any issues with the run game will be blocking.ĭ-Line – B – The edge rushers are particularly good. Not sure how anyone can look at them and give B. Running Backs – A- – Marshawn Lloyd is fabulous and Austin is doing well. Put pressure on Tarquin and Jarrett to either step up their game, or get pushed off the field. I have said this before but I would be looking to get Paige lots of reps at left tackle and then move Monheim back to the right side. The pocket is collapsing from the right side most of the time. Both of them seem to just not put in real effort. The guys that seem to be lame are Tarquin and Kingston. Offensive line – C- Agree that the offensive line is still a mess. Receivers – A – The receivers are great, period. Sure, he is an incredible scrambler and can make incredible plays, but he shouldnt have to. Riley said that Caleb needs to get better and I think he does. Caleb is taking too long to get the ball out and is scrambling as a result. He’s starting to become a bit of a whiner. I can’t believe Riley actually read a prepared statement after a 52-point victory about a player getting suspended in a game 10 months ago. Still, Alex Grinch’s defense looked vulnerable early. That’s a plus in the Riley Era of sometimes dodgy special teams. Every week is an adventure with his crew. Frankly, I would start Christian Roland-Wallace at cornerback but it’s probably not considered politically correct within the program. This would have been a great chance for Tackett Curtis to get four quarters of college experience but he made a very poor tackling choice and deserved to be ejected.ĭomani Jackson gave up a 73-yard pass early and had another deep ball that got dropped. It didn’t matter the top two linebackers were out because the opponent was Nevada. Jack Sullivan hasn’t made a tackle in two games. Solomon Byrd has been an unsung hero the first two games. Lots of activity just like in the first game vs. Justin Dedich had a snap infraction, holding penalty and bad snap that was fumbled. Williams is scrambling all over the place. Look at the highlight plays for Caleb Williams. I will say there have been more plays than I expected the first two games where Caleb Williams was running around because no one got open. Nevada was never going to be able to contain the wide receivers. But I can’t say I’d be overly worried at this point if I was the defensive coordinator at a real school. We finally saw what MarShawn Lloyd can do coming out of the backfield and catching the ball. We’re at the stage where fans should start telling themselves every Saturday to appreciate what they are watching because it won’t be duplicated any time soon. Here are the grades for the USC-Nevada game:
