I believe I was the very first to become a Talich fan after I mentioned it and pointed to his

leaping block of a pass against BC last year along with his game saving interception against USC. Every body spoke of our great safeties but only mentioned Talich as an afterthought. I said I wanted him in the game more along with Josh Burnham who unfortunately transferred to Indiana. Talich is NFL material. He is the best pure tackler of all our defensive backs too.
