Linebackers:
Another solid performance by the linebackers this game.  Troy Reeder finished second on the team in total tackles with six and also added a half tackle-for-loss.  He also laid huge hits on any opposing player. Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda seemed all over the field again and finished with 4 tackles each.  Cabinda also had a half tackle for loss and a pass breakup.
The linebackers have really stepped up in the absence of Nyeem Wartman-White.  They fly to the ball on every snap and they wrap tackle when they get to ball carriers.
The front seven as a whole has been really dominant since the first game of the season, especially against the run. Â Against the Aztecs, they only allowed 101 yards on the ground and they made them earn every one of those yards.
With full conference play right around the corner, I expect them to step up their play.
