Football:
Guys are having to step up. And it seems they are doing so.
Frankly, it doesn’t require one to be a defensive savant among the likes of Patterson to recognize the complexity of the linebacker situation. Wallow, who did not participate Saturday, is the only returner with considerable starting experience at the position, with six of his seven starts in 2018 coming at linebacker.
Given the hand the Frogs have been dealt, it’s left Patterson with few options other than reassigning or rotating the roles for certain players.
Saturday saw sophomore safety La’Kendrick Van Zandt -- a player Patterson has recently raved about as “better than ever” -- spend yet another day at linebacker.
