1st. Want to address everybody who would have rather not rely on a freshman (5*) DT. Yes you all know who you are that were not on board with playing a freshman DT.

After seeing Scott in person today next to all of our DT's, not only is he the biggest, but also the most athletic. IS more then capable of being a starting DT.

DT is not complicated, you stunt, or hit gaps and win your 1 on 1's.

Blount and Horton are problems. the speed of all 3 of them together that got in the backfield was nothing less than incredible

we have 2 top 10 defensive lines in the country.

It’s actually fairly complicated to play at a high level.

his extension off the snap and with power and his first step is just unfair, again same with Scott. Blount was great too.

I didn't see Jones,I didn't get a chance to look for him on the sideline

Blount is a manchild

I saw Jones real quick on one play because I had to look up who #42 was because he stood out

I'm still not used to it. I'm so used to seeing our guys getting pushed on both sides. DE's were the only positions we were great at but DTs and OL was so bad. In 2017 both Clemson and Wisconsin crushed us in the trenches. We had a 10 win team but you knew we were nowhere close to a top 10 team in 2017

Miss the manny era getting demolished on the d-line when facing a real team
 
Remember the days when we were lucky to get a couple of OL and DL recruits who were average at best? Yeah, me neither! Hot **** Mario has rebuilt the trenches into monsters...and significantly upgraded LB, WR, RB, and of course there's some guy named Cam
 
I sat right right behind the UM bench and when I see Scott I was like WTF ain’t no way that a true freshman!! Buddy look like he should be in his last year of college!!!
We have a great problem on our hands with all these guys that can play on that line right now!

Also Credit to JT ! That man NEVER STOPS coaching!! I don’t think he ever stopped to look at the offense one time !! When his unit was not on the field he was coaching them up with tablet in hand!! He is a gem!!!
