>>"What's happened is he has bought in to what we're doing and what coach [Curome] Cox is teaching him," Edsall said. "When he does the things we're asking him to do fundamentally and [with] technique, he plays at a better level than he does if he's out there trying to do things on his own.

"That's the big thing. As long as he does that, he has a good enough skill set to be very productive within what we want done. It has taken him a little while to really grasp that and try to perfect that every day."

This isn't Bob Diaco dispensing happy pills to the media each Tuesday, folks. The truth tends to spill out with Edsall. "He wasn't one of those guys at the beginning of the season that busted his hump every day, every play in practice," Edsall said. "And that's the stuff that carried over to the game."<<

Hoping in the worst way for him to get an INT again. He made so many big plays his sophomore year and has barely been heard from since. Learning this new defensive system has no doubt been rough but he still has time to make a big impact.

The Diaco scheme put him at a distinct disadvantage. He gave up so much space to the Syracuse wide out we were all screaming about it. Whether he loafed during practice is unknown to me but not out of the question. Diaco was a disingenuous enabler. Edsall may save his career.

He still gives insane cushion but was much better for the first 42 minutes against Tulsa. But then, he like the D disintegrated at the end. I hate to say it, but the D kind of goes as he goes. If he is playing well, we can defend the number 1 option and allow the D line a little more time to get to the QB. When he is getting toasted- he is a big target and the D is non existent.

I thought he quit on D against Memphis- didn't stick his shoulders into tackles and generally played undisciplined football. Hopefully the light stays on for 60 minutes this week. If we beat Missouri- it gets us back in the public eye again.
