    Alfonzo Allen Jr.

    15 tackles - 8 solo

    I know we're all waiting for "the announcement" but damn that kid played one heckova game and deserves some recognition.

    The D played really well but #43 stood out.

    Absolutely and it begs the question, why hasn't he been out there more? Also shout out to the true freshmen put out there on the back end. They weren't perfect, but great effort.

    The way our defense is getting wounded, these freshmen need as many snaps as possible. Not just for this game but the remaining games too. Doing this will pay great dividends.

    He was a beast out there! Love watching attacking D!

    Offense catches the eye, but defense sparks my soul....

    All I know is I probably said out loud, “who is 43?”. Great game young man. He was in the middle of some violent action, props!
    Best LB group in a long time.

    Speaking of love, our kicker deserves tons of it. W/o his big kicks, we lose.

    He was hitting people and most importantly, he tackled!

    Been Hanks Jr could use a little help with the tackling. My god. But they all came to play. Very proud of the young guys stepping up.

    He’s slow but made up for it by playing hard, which I love. Kudos!

    During the game people were questioning why he was out there at all, now the question is why he hasn't been out there more.

    He struggled early in the pass game and missed /whiffed his first tackle. Then he turned it on and was crushing people in the run game.

    Alfonzo Allen played some inspiring football on defense - some great tackles behind the line of scrimmage when Miss St was trying to go for it on 3rd and two, 4th and one.

    I think that I heard that he was a Baylor transfer.

    Some people may not agree with me, but I would like to keep RR as our DC.
