9:46 is the best play I've ever seen from a Gopher defensive back.
I said it the second I saw it live.
There's just no way a safety in that position should have a tackle for a loss on that play.
Was it after the Purdue game? I recall watching him on the sidelines as the realization set in.
He took his firing like a man. I respected him for that.
But if the ball has not been thrown and the receiver is coming across the defender’s face, the defender does not know if it is a block or a route.
I was taught to lay out anybody who crossed my face if the ball was not out. 25 years ago!
