Congratulations to Joe Dillon & Clifton Duck. I watched the Tennessee vs. App State game at the beginning of the season and couldn't believe Joe Duck was a freshman. He has stood out since day 1.

Crazy thing about Duck is, he got thrusted into the starting lineup only out of necessity after our first team all Sun Belt CB (who had 7 picks last year) got ruled academically ineligible for the year. Hate to look ahead to next year already but those two together are gonna be awesome to watch.

It's interesting how only one G5 player made ESPN's Freshman All-America team and of course he is Houston's five star recruit.

how in the world did they land him?, No offense to Houston, its a great program, but he is a once in a lifetime player for them.

Combination of things. His brother Marcus is an OL at Houston. He was recruited by Corby Meekins who was the head coach at Westfield (where Oliver went to HS) before he joined Herman's staff. And he's originally from Houston and really wanted to stay local.

Are you Mondo Williams? Considering a random site such as Iowa City and that is where he transferred from.

He committed early too and they held on to him. First five star to pick a non-P5 school
