On the Gridiron

Red Raider Sports’ Ben Golan writes about defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard:

“I’m playing head up in front of the tackle, but we also have some three tech, which I’m used to in my old defense. But I’m playing right head up in front tackle on the four tech.

“That guy is huge,” continues Gill-Howard, on his defensive line teammate Lee Hunter. “But it’s really great when you play with a guy like Lee, like the O-Line has to pick, like, who they want to double team at each time. So like, either he’s going to get a one-on-one or I’m going to get a one-on-one, and then we just go from there, whether we’re running games or something. Like, it’s always going to be a problem and hectic with us to win there, but playing with a guy like Lee has been amazing.”
