It was one of the more entertaining games in recent history, one seemingly everyone on twitter likened to a Big 12 Football game - and for good reason, as nearly every offensive record was smashed by the end of the third quarter. And it wouldn’t have happened without a big time assist from Big V, the TCU graduate and Eagles’ starting left tackle.
Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who entered TCU in 2012 as a three star tackle, made five appearances in his first season and would go on to start 30 games for the Frogs. Voted second team all Big 12 in his junior and senior seasons, Vaitai was invited to the NFL Combine, where he impressed enough to be the Eagles’ fifth round draft pick.
