Venables says Bresee played like big puppy being let out for first time

After a night of asking questions and being excited about his first college football game, Bryan Bresee was ready to get on the field. In the words of defensive coordinator Brent Venables, Bresee was like a puppy who had been let outside for the first time.

Bresee, the highly-touted freshman defensive tackle out of Damascus, Maryland, was credited with two tackles, half a sack, and a blocked field goal in the Tigers’ 37-13 victory at Wake Forest Saturday night. He also jumped offsides on his first play, and his defensive coordinator compared him to a Labrador puppy who wets everywhere.
