Defensive player of the game: Everyone
As I looked at the box score and rewatched film from the TCU game, I tried finding that one person that stood out among the rest like I usually do. I wanted to give the DPOW to Eli Howard for his QB pressure, forced fumble, and sack, but then I wanted to give it to Jah’Shawn Johnson for his many tackles. Then I thought, maybe the ‘Ball Haw” Justus Parker deserves it again for consistently getting into the backfield and forcing his fumble or Vauughntae Dorsey for being the one to recover one finally. How about Broderick Washington Jr. and Mychaleon Thomas for consistently blowing up the TCU Oline. After racking my brain trying to figure out who stood out the most, I realized it’s time for the entire defense as a whole to get credit for the way they played on Saturday.
