Erik McCoy pulls with great alacrity. He runs and is built like a video game boss character. I personally haven't seen an offensive lineman as quick in the open field as him since Calvin Collins or Hunter Goodwin.
I love that Myles Garrett only played third downs for most of this game. He's like the Cloverfield monster, the fact that you don't see him very much makes him even scarier.
Derek Barnett was an unholy terror in the first half. It's just not fair to ask a true freshman guard to block him 1 on 1. Colton Prater in this play is the 1,000 Phocians that Leonidas tasked with guarding the secret mountain passage that led the Persian hordes to outflank the Spartans. Valiant effort, impossible task, disastrous results.
I know that running into the kicker is a very subjective penalty, and often a judgment call for the referee. So I made a handy flow chart, and the SEC has my permission to use it in future training materials:
Myles Garrett on one leg is better than anyone on your offensive line. Give me a defense composed entirely of Myles Garretts and I will shut out the opponent, sort out ISIS and eliminate the nation's clown problem in less than a fortnight.
Former Florida safety Josh Evans just felt an unexplained pain in his neck and whoever edits the "There's a Spirit ..." videos just shuddered for no reason and then went back to whatever he was doing.
Ideally, your counter to Derek Barnett wreaking havoc isn't "throw an undersized TE and an injured RB at him." That's like trying to end a terrorist attack by throwing bullets at the bad guys.
On this play, Zaycoven Henderson rushed 10 yards upfield to pressure Josh Dobbs, then sprinted 60 yards down the field to be in position to recover a fumble. I don't have any trenchant observations to make about that, that's just amazing.
Cullen Gillaspia is a legit crazy person. He is the platonic ideal of the 12th Man team and if he were a Muppet, he'd be Animal. He's half Spencer Nealy, half Chris Farley without the fatal coke addiction. I think.
