he's not a stellar athlete but he isn't as bad as people think. he overcompensates for when other guys are messing up.

Congrats Mish!

Starter for the National runners-up last season, starter for Top 10 CFP contender with a shot at another playoff run this year.

Come a long way since beginning his college career as a walk-on from a lightly regarded high school program

I wonder if someone chart his production at his natural nickel spot from last game what would be results.. I think all his impact plays came when they moved him to nickel with Markeith at safety.. looking at snap count markeith had 15 plays..

So if u telling me he got 1 pick 6, sack, and almost pick all in 15 plays.. why we try to force him to be a safety

Who among our back seven is tbh?

I was about 20 rows up at the GT game. When we were lined up on D, it was like the LB's and DB's don't even really "look the part" of an elite defense

Interested to see how he performs now that he is at nickel where he is most comfortable. He should have had 2 interceptions on Saturday. So far, so good.

Happy for him. Just need him to play that way 4-5 more times.

Way to bounce back Meesh! It shows that so much of football (and all sports) is about focus and energy.

deserves it. he played really well and changed the game for the D (they were on their way to giving up another td off a 17+ play drive) and he made an absolute fantastic read.

His best game of the season. Cool it happened on Senior Day. Hopefully we get more of this type of play the rest of the year.

Powell's move to safety and Mesidor's move to DT both came after the Spring if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Wake is just that bad on offense but they both looked fabulous back where they belong.
