I was seated about 15 rows up behind the PSU bench 2 years ago when Michigan's TE ran seemingly forever for a TD that ripped the heart out of Beaver Stadium.
King got picked on the play and never recovered- leading to the right side of the field to be so wide open that an injured, lumbering player went untouched until the goal line. Prior to that moment King was playing an outstanding game.
Being a MI kid who chose PSU I closely watched his reactions after the play, during the rest of the game and post game. He unwillingly ended up on the wrong side of one of the biggest plays in recent Wolverine history. Dude stared at the sky mostly.
I hope that memory drives him to further greatness, and that he can promote our D at the end of the year as glowingly as the Summer before.
Everyone can see our defensive strengths and areas where we are unproven. I trust Manny does too. Should be interesting chess matches on our D side- provided that our interior line play is decent.
Love the enthusiasm- will cheer for the results even more.
