Much respect to D'Eriq King

[Hold My Beer]

Just wanted to show appreciation to DK for all his effort and determination to get back on the field with everything he's gone through the last year or so.

Losing his dad, his mom's serious illness, the torn ACL in the bowl — the kid has given his ALL to this team and this football program.

Regardless of what you do or don't think of King as our QB, if every single player and every single coach had his dedication and fortitude, this trainwreck we're stuck watching never would've happened.

Nothing but love for King, dude is a warrior and a high-character kid who you can't help but root for. I wish him nothing but success in all of his future endeavors.

for whatever shortcomings he might have as a QB, he's a gamer. I never question his courage or commitment to football or this program

In my view, Diaz put his long term health at risk to save his own ***....

One of the few players that I will never question his heart and drive to make this University better.
