      Meh… I’ve always wondered why he got so much PT. Not a big loss tbh.

        He’s been my “Why TF does this guy even play” guy for years now.

          Before him it was Boobie Hobbs, who oddly enough played the same position. Mataele is sooo much worse than Guidry was.

            Maybe so, but Boobie was also a key part of one of the punt misdirection play against the Ducks in 2015. Gotta at least give him that cred!

              Yeah… Hobbs ended up becoming a decent player on defense, but he was not good for the majority of his time at the U.

      He plays a lot of Nickel Back. We have Broughton, Vaugh, Bishop, Ritchie, Isbel, etc. I dont believe there is a lot of room back there anyways.

          Vaki is the man and will be an nfl draft pick.

            Dude is a very good player. Between him and Bishop, our defense is in good hands the next few years.

                Is Ritchie all that good though? He seemed to be in the right position for a lot of plays, but a step or two behind all the time. I wasn’t disappointed with his play given his inexperience, but he wasn’t a standout performer. That’s obviously not bad considering he was so new… but Bishop and Vaki have not been that way. They’ve been making plays since day 1 pretty much.

                  He lead the secondary in tackles his freshman year.

                  But I was not able to watch football that year.
