Yenga is my favorite player on D. Also i though Herron showed some real speed. Butler+Turner= Better

With our "swiss cheese" defense, it looks like Henderson will get plenty of chances to return kickoffs this year.................

Zach Thomas made an eye-opening tackle tracking down a ballcarrier running down the sidelines and catching him 40 yards downfield. Anybody else see that. Kid can move pretty good for a big guy.

KOR yardage is one of the least significant IMO. When the other teams are scoring bunches of TDs on your defense you are bound to get KOR yards. Give me average yards per KOR any day like JH got his freshman year.

Edit: JH is #88 in avg yards per KOR, SMU is #100 out of 118.

There are several folks who take heat for being negative, but you really make them sound like cheerleaders. Are you ever NOT miserable?
