Is putting in time as a nose tackle.

“It definitely wasn’t expected, but it worked really well in camp,” Winovich said when asked about moonlighting as a nose tackle in Week 1. “And it was one of those things that I’m not sure of Coach’s inspiration for it, but he told me to go down there, and I said, ‘You know what? I’m gonna do the best I can and kind of use my skillset in kind of an untraditional manner for that position at that part of the field.’

Saw that, it was fun to watch!  Wish we saw a bit more of that in college uniforms, but in fairness to Chase he was banged up for the last meeting and these two never played at the same time.  We'll always have Frank Clark leveling Braxton Miller though!  :)

I think about that hit from time to time and it still amazes me how Braxton did not fumble that ball. Literally any other QB on any other team would've not only fumbled, but probably had to leave the game and not come back. Clark got a full head of steam, completely unguarded, and absolutely leveled Braxton. 

Somehow the kid just got right back up like nothing ever happened. Michigan-OSU in a microcosm.

I think Clark basically not only wrapped up Miller, but also he wrapped up the ball tight to Miller's body which prevented him from fumbling.  Miller took it like a champ, but certainly was on the ground for a minute to get his wits about him before getting back up.

Yeah you can't tell me that lining up across from Hyde isn't personal to Winovich. They may not have played against each other in college, but he still knows where Hyde went to school. 

Curious to see what Winovich would do to Dobbins or Haskins should he get the chance.

A bunch of UM players looking great in the NFL.  Looks like once our guys are getting paid and don't have to play skool, they start looking like professional football players - what a concept.

LOL - Academic Progress Rate.  Who is determining the athlete's eligibility? 

Oh, right, the school itself.

Ole Miss! is ranked 2nd, above Northwestern which is 3rd. Clemson is 5th, above Stanford which is 6th, tied with Bama.  Maybe find a more reliable metric than APR to support your point.

If you can't see that some schools are running football factories shoving students through the system and others are not, well, you are either lying to yourself or incredibly naive.

Hyde was not in optimal form to block—he was moving to his right, didn't have his feet set under him, and his momentum was putting him off-balance. Chase has the quickness and strength to use that to his advantage, shoving Hyde in the direction he was already going.

impressive shuck but hyde was moving laterally for two steps and didn't get squared up to Chase who was moving in a straight line faster.  I wouldn't say tossed like a rag doll but definitely got the better of him
