It's such a luxury having our DBs. On the off chance our DL doesn't get pressure and an intermediate/deep ball gets thrown, the sense of panic I normally feel before the camera pans downfield just isn't there anymore.

Absent an injury, Stribling will be in the league.  Size and skills will give him that shot ... and his game speed is plenty sufficient.

How he tests on things like the 40 will likely disprapotionately influence which round he goes in.  But he's put up plenty of data at this point to almost certainly be drafted.

At this rate, he'll get drafted. Will he be a Day 1 guy? Doubt it. A Day 2 guy? Possibly. But he will get drafted.

He's played exceptionally well, and he has quite a bit of data to go by. No one is throwing Jourdan Lewis' way, so when an opposing team does decide to throw on us, it's usually to Stribling's side of the field. And he's delivered.

He has the size and frame that the NFL is looking for, so if he keeps getting better, he can make himself into a late Day 2, or very early Day 3 prospect.

I was on the fence for a while but I now believe pretty strongly that this defense is superior to 97's. I was a jr that year and will always have nothing but love for that team and that D but this d is more polished, much deeper and more athletic. The 97 D really relied on some big turnovers and INTs from Woodson but this team hasn't really even needed those types of game changing plays because they are literally never in trouble. Just completely overwhelming from the jump.

:D  A solid, shut-yo-ass down D makes me smile huge. It has to be psychological warfare, not getting 1yd passing in a half or to have a total of 39yds in a game.

I figured that the QBR regarding Stribling and Lewis would have been pretty low, but I guess I didn't fully realize how low it would be. That's impressive and a half. 

Although, now that I think about it, I guess it isn't too shocking when you look at other measures though - that S&P+ Success Rate, for example, is 18.5%. That's not a typo at all - offenses are only getting necessary yardage on downs 18.5% of the time against Michigan. Unreal indeed.

Lewis was beat first play of the game. He's playing well, but we will need of last year's MSU performance to beat OSU.
