    More worried that the 1DL got pushed around a little in the second half.

    If Sark was coaching this team, Benning would be starting and would look like shit. He still plays like a high schooler who is faster and stronger than everyone else on the field. He gets sucked in on zone-reads and takes bad angles.

    I think he'll be good, but not yet.

    The entire defense came out flat in the second half. They were also up 31-0 and the Beav. Coaches will be pissed off, and the team will respond.

    It's time for Benning to put his big boy pants on... serisouly this guy should be ready to go. Vault himself into the off season as the edge rusher we all thought he would be

    I know Benning is only a RS-freshman, but he's played in several games this year and hasn't done shit.
    He's a physical specimen and moves well for his size. Instinctively, he's subpar. Will he improve with experience? Maybe. In the near future it's a big concern if Mathis doesn't return.

    Going forward, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't end up playing inside after Qualls leaves.

    I think what's worrying is that a team like Cal, Alabama, or Clemson can put up four touchdowns in a hurry if you come out flat in the second half. Oregon State sucks and still put 17 on the d.

    Look at how pissed the Seahawk defense is when they give up garbage time points. That's where you want to be when you're making the jump to being elite.

    "Faster?" Not sure what you're watching, but there is no way Benning is fast.

    We go up 31-0 at halftime vs. Alabama and your concern is the defense will relax in the second half and we'll lose?

    He looks faster than Mathis but his poor instincts make him appear slower.

    Do you all really think that kids aren't going to lose some focus when they know they are fighting cripples? They just came off demolishing oregon and stepping on their neck the entire game only to come home to a team St John Bosco could probably contend with. They came out with a drive and fucked up OSU and then the balloon deflated like swaye without a syringe and viagra.

    They will bring the edge next week. That, I have no doubt about
