🏈 What made this team special?

[EasyTider]

Never seen a group embrace 'next man up' mentality like this one. Sure, not much choice considering injuries but would have been easy and a lot more common to have come up short and chalk it up to bad luck on injury front. Not JUST 5 stars but also warriors (savages). Check out this moment between Jennings and Lewis. More than just teammates.

This team was special there is no doubt.

Don’t forget Leatherwood stepped up big time coming in and playing left tackle. Yeah, Tua is left handed and it wasn’t his blindside but the OT played huge.

You got that right! Leatherwood did great!

I wonder if we see a change on the offensive line due to having a left handed quarterback.

This was the most hungry team I've seen since 2011.

No. We won't.

While we still see the left tackle position as one of the highest paid positions in the NFL it's not that important in today's college game. The primary reason for that is due to so many QB's playing out of the shotgun instead of taking snaps under center.
