After that OSU drubbing hard to think highly of our defense. But well deserved for all these young men!
December 3rd, 2019 at 5:34 PM ^
LOL Hutchinson was by far the best player on the defense.
He and Metellus are not in the same sentence

There were a lot of good defensive ends in the conference this year. Def think Aidan got kinda snubbed from the 2nd/3rd teams.
Other than that everything was pretty spot on, thought Mcgrone might have a chance to get on a 3rd team but he’ll probably be honorable mention.
December 3rd, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
McGrone ass man! Love that guy!
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:59 PM ^
I think Vert was the best player. And Bry Thomas was up there too.
Cant really remember any/many blown coverages by those two this year
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:07 PM ^
Congrats to all of them but more wasted talent walks through the door wins nothing and hopefully has successful careers in the nfl....sigh

So basically everyone who played extensively is HM or above for like the third year in a row.
So: each defensive player is top 1/3ish or better starters in the B1G (again) and yet, that happened (again). Dammit.
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
1 first teamer a year after having 5 on defense. lol
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
You realize those 4 guys are in the NFL don't you?
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Yup.
And the drop in first team representation also tells us this defense is worse than last year's.
December 3rd, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
Our eyeballs told us that.
December 3rd, 2019 at 7:06 PM ^
December 3rd, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
The most shocking thing here is that the Panasiuk brothers were not co-reps for the sportsmanship award for Sparty.
December 3rd, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
It actually seems about right for the defense. A bunch of good, not great players. Nobody any offensive coordinator had a game plan against.
December 3rd, 2019 at 10:23 PM ^
Thomas, Hutch, and McGrone were much better than how this played out.
Hudson was a bust in my opinion the last two years. He’s not a smart defender. Targeting ejections and way too many missed assignments prove that.
December 4th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Agreed. People focus on his athleticism but he wasn’t a very sound player. If the guys behind him fix that they could be a significant upgrade as they project to have equal talent.
