Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Defense: Austin Faoliu (No. 99) has been replaced in the starting line-up at defensive tackle by Brandon Dorlus, No. 97. (I do not know why....) Not good for a senior in his last game! Offense: As we feared, the Mountain-of-a-Man, Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu No. 71 is not in the starting line-up. The guards are No. 56 TJ Bass and No. 53 Ryan Walk, and the tackles are No. 74 Steven Jones and No. 77 George Moore. While all are good--Mala was responsible for a lot of crushing blocks this season, and I hope he is still able to play! And now just before game-time we hear that CJ Verdell is out! We need great defense like this day! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Dorlus was lined up across KT a lot during the Pac-12 Championship Game and between Dorlus and KT they crunched the USC offensive line. Dorlus is a high rising defensive star in the making and if he is playing better right now all the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 3 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu is big, but I saw him get beat pretty bad a few times in the USC game, as he is a little slow off the block. I am not sure this is not a proactive decision to get the best functioning line in there together. Sorry about the all bold......can't seem to get it to turn off for some reason.

That happens when you do the bold or italics, etc, as you're writing. The way for that not to happen is to write out first, then go back and highlight the section(s) you want to enhance.

Old Geezer No. 5 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Whoever we put on the field better be ready to put some hurt on the Cyclones! Shoughs head better be in the game and Coach Avalos' defense has to be up to the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel far more confident in the defense right now than the offense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
