Position battle - LB

[The U is back to work]

I’m very happy we will have Chase and Mo who are both legit elder statesman across all of college football who both bought into this system but for those who know coverages - I’m terrified of that tandem getting murdered in wheel routes all day. What’s the way they stop this? Just rotate safeties over always?

Smith also did not start. However the guy who started over him Wesley Bissainthe was named 3rd team All-ACC, the same Wesley Bissainthe who this time last year was being called mid on CIS lol.

I’m just making the point that Heatherman had a very good LB in 2024, that fit his scheme.

If we’re being honest with our selves, we should recognize that lateral speed at LB was our weakest link last year on defense.
Not terrible, but it could have been better.
