As you stated, he had trouble getting onto the field due to being blacklisted by Brian Kelly or getting in academic or disciplinary trouble.

He turned in a very fine performance against Michigan in 2014, although sometimes I wonder if that were due to Brady Hoke's ineptitude... Still, the way he gave a hard, clean block against Devin Gardener after the last play of the game was absolutely beautiful.
