David Rill and Michael Jackson would probably make that list if it went back beyond 2005.
But you know, this stat doesn't mean that much. It means your defense sucks and your team probably sucks. It's like saying Cody Pickett and Jake Browning are great QBs because they threw for so many yards.

The majority of those guys were on such shitty defenses that allowed them to jump on the pile enough times because they couldn't get off the field. Kill me if this is celebrated.
I’d like to see tackles for loss. From what I saw in the Oregon game, his tackles were 4-5 yards down field. Now if he was also ranked in tackles for loss, that would be an accomplishment.

Agree with this.
BBK's not a game changer as a tackler, but he's solid. Overrated but good tackler.
He does contribute to a lot of turnovers though for a MLB, this is where he's underrated.

This doesn't mean a lot, either, frankly. Large percentage of this has to do with usage. A team can send it's 225-lb. OLB upfield from like a wide 9 position every play, the nature of the defense is they're going to catch a bunch of TFLs over their career. Or they can keep that guy in the middle in a 2-gapping scheme where things are funneled to the MLB and he'll rack up a bunch of tackles. Neither way means he's "better." At least BBK is active, which is where creating tips and fumbles usually comes from.

I agree. I’m not saying he’s bad, but based on a defensive scheme like you said, tackles may just be considered a stat compiler for him.

(Actually, I'm just guessing because of the names Christian, Eric, Blake, Spencer and Jared. And of course Cort and Scooby)
Arizona fans were so pissed off after that play. I remember seeing dissertations that were supposed to prove the ball touched the ground.
I'm guessing UA won?
