Just sitting down to go thru post-game stuff, so apologies if this has already been mentioned,
I think he played his best game yet. Off the top of my head, 4 plays stick out that were pretty impactful:
1 On a WR screen, he overpowered and pushed back the OL into the WR for the tackle. Forced Louisville to punt
2 He cleaned up Kamara's missed sack and finished the play once Plummer spun out opposite direction. Forced Louisville to punt and helped flip the field
3 On Sammy Os sack, he read the screen play which made Plummer hold onto the ball and attempt to ride the play out. Allowed Okunlola time to come from behind for the strip sack TO
4 On MJs Pitt-Six, he read the play and "chipped" Thrash on the slant. You could see MJ play that over top and allow Deshields to come underneath and knock Trash off his route. Great coaching, film study and execution by those two.
Impact plays. Two of which directly led to TOs and major point swings w Louisville driving on both. The strip sack when Louisville was driving at our 15, and the Pitt-Six when they were inside the 20. At worst, 10-point swings.
Good for him.
