the opportunities. Coaches tend to want to stick with the experienced guys in hopes it limits first game jitters and mental errors.

If we were playing Purdue game one, I think those guys would show out and by the time we played the ranked teams later in the season they would be starting. I would throw in the freshmen DBs like Zachary over Hobbs. They have picked on Hobbs so far.

  • KVA should be starting over Sneed. And Tae Johnson and Tuihalamaka need to play way more. - DiscoRick - 8:43am 9/19/25 (5) [View All]
    • Tae Johnson played the most defensive snaps just behind Moore and Gray - kgirish - 7:58am 9/20/25
    • Not over Sneed but over Bowen. Agree on Tae...and we need to find a 3rd Corner [NT] - 81Brown - 5:57pm 9/19/25
      • Correct on all counts, Tae is going to be the next first team AA safety at ND. - Clem - 6:05am 9/20/25
