Bryan Douglas had to earn the right to wear no. 1
In the off season, Coach Pete challenged Douglas to step up and he has responded in all areas including academics. Now he's joined Kyle Wilson and Titus Young as the next player to wear no. 1. No one wore it last year after Young graduated, but Coach Pete decided to award it to Douglas this year. I love that he is using the no. 1 jersey as a motivational tool.
Overall the defense played pretty well against Michigan State with the exception of missed tackles that allowed the Spartans to convert 10 of 19 third downs. Coach Pete also said that Southwick needs to make better decisions. My guess is that he wasn't aggressive enough and played too conservatively. What do you think?
