    Solid stats for a DT.

    That is my go-to sports trivia question. Everyone vaguely remembers that he never beat Florida, but no one remembers that they played in the Gator Bowl at Florida Field.

    Our NIL needs to throw a lot of money at him.

    Maybe we should hire Walter Nolan Sr as the new D-Line coach.
    (Unknown if there is a Walter Nolan Sr but you get the point.)

    Ironically our old DL coach took the job at tamu just before Nolan entered the portal. So, perhaps no DL coach is better

    Our spitter is just as good, just needs to play and not spit.

    Nolen would be a good pickup, but my gut says back home to UTn.

    If he were the missing piece to a fine D then I would agree. As of now, more than one body feels more important. All that is happening is setting us up for disappointment.

    Personally, I would much prefer to buy Seaton than this guy.

    He was costly the first time. Now, as a proven commodity, he'll be more costly. Unlock some teams, we seem to have a finite pool of money and need to be strategic. I agree that quality OTs are a bigger need than quality DTs.
