Congrats Mish!

Starter for the National runners-up last season, starter for Top 10 CFP contender with a shot at another playoff run this year.

Come a long way since beginning his college career as a walk-on from a lightly regarded high school program

I wonder if someone chart his production at his natural nickel spot from last game what would be results.. I think all his impact plays came when they moved him to nickel with Markeith at safety.. looking at snap count markeith had 15 plays..

So if u telling me he got 1 pick 6, sack, and almost pick all in 15 plays.. why we try to force him to be a safety

Who among our back seven is tbh?

I was about 20 rows up at the GT game. When we were lined up on D, it was like the LB's and DB's don't even really "look the part" of an elite defense

Interested to see how he performs now that he is at nickel where he is most comfortable. He should have had 2 interceptions on Saturday. So far, so good.
