    Westover the walk-on TE taking out 2 Trojans here at the point of attack.

    Why do we need Overman if Westover looks the part?

    Advanced METRICS favors us* rather easily, say, 38-18.

    But the junior defensive back was obsessing over another moment. The one he kept re-watching, the one that has stuck with him, happened in the fourth quarter. It was a missed opportunity, a near interception that slipped through his hands.

    “I should have made that play,” Molden said Tuesday. “It doesn’t matter what kind of catch that was. … I wasn’t even worried about my interception.”

    Before he finally recorded an interception against the Trojans, Molden had a career’s worth of almosts. A few of them happened a week earlier against BYU, including one on a deep ball in the first quarter. He turned and sealed off the receiver before the ball hit him right on the hands. But he couldn’t secure it, and it bounced off his fingers and onto the field instead.

    “The day after, I always beat myself up about because those are opportunities,” Molden said. “I think mistakes like that, plays like that, can bring some things to light. Even if it’s as simple as, like, how to catch a football. Sometimes you got to go back to the basics.”

    Molden might want some of those opportunities back, but his eight pass breakups are still tied for second nationally. The Huskies’ defensive backs have combined for seven interceptions, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and 15 pass breakups.

    Molden has more than half of our DB's pass breakups.
