nice mention for WYO's Andrew Wingard

Recommended Posts

Is there a reason why you didn't mention the other MW player?

Quote

Hawaii enjoyed a resurgent season in 2016. In coach Nick Rolovich's first season, the Warriors went 7-7 and capped the year with a Hawaii Bowl win over Middle Tennessee. However, playing away from the mainland with midnight ET kickoff times, some might not have pinpointed reasons for their success.

One huge factor? Middle linebacker Jahlani Tavai. Tavai put together an incredible sophomore season with 129 tackles (86 solo), 19.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks. He was the first Hawaii player to top 100 tackles in a season since 2011. He led the Mountain West in tackles for loss and finished No. 29 in tackles.

Tavai is an active player who makes plays all over the field. And if Hawaii can make a run at a Mountain West title, his national profile should grow accordingly in 2017.

Of course, Wingard is a key part to the defense of THE most formidable dynasty in college football at the moment. So I can understand the need to single him out :cheers:

More like a John Lynch.

Either way, the guy lays it, and lays it hard.  You got to worry about backs that bring punishment as often and as hard as he does.  The Stranton kid at CSU comes to mind...his career was cut short because of injuries due to all of the hard hits he delivered.  I remember one Border War where Ben put a hit on Tyler Holden.  I thought both were knocked out of the game.  Tyler got up and came off on his own.  Stratton was hurt bad and never played the same after that hit, in my opinion.
