Darius West’s “Amazing” Return to the Field
Forced to the sideline with a major knee injury prior to his sophomore season, it didn’t take long for safety Darius West to make up for lost time.Against Southern Miss West had 7 tackles, the second-most on the team, and 1.5 for loss. One tackle for loss on the quarterback forced a fumble that led to a Kentucky touchdown.
“He did the common things uncommonly well is what we’re telling him. If you do those things, most of the time you’re going to make plays,” defensive coordinator Matt House said today. “Darius did a good job. He did. He had a couple things mentally to clean up, but for the most part for the first time playing football in a long time, he did a really nice job.”
