YGM getting some love by USA Today as one of the top DL players in college football (article)
- Thread starter GregInPitt
- Start date
According to this article, he's only 4th best in the B10...
Did you even read it?
When we recruited him, I honestly thought he was going to pan-out for us in a very big way.
So far, so good.
oh-high-ya players get the benefit of the doubt, no doubt. From what I read YGM had the best statistical year in 2018 - 20 tackles for loss. And lets hope that when YGM outplays the others again this year he gets AA recognition. But first team AA or not, YGM will get the recognition where it counts - at his NFL payday!!
Yes I did. So my memory was a slot off. The point is that he may be the best DE in the NCAA. Who appointed you to board critic? I pity anyone who has to live with a born critic and loser like you.
If he builds on the season he had last year, I'd say he will end up 1/2 team AA. The bigger benefit OSU players had was being surrounded with higher quality DL.
Your original post would seem to indicate that you were thinking someone else's opinion that he was interchangeably 3rd in the conference, yet had no issue with the praise the article gave him nationally without realizing they pegged him squarely as 4th best in the conference.
Seems a little contradictory, but you do you.
I was the one who posted the data, which I stated came from the Nebraska board.
He was 4th in that article and 4th here.
Only difference was order.
In Nebraska article it was Iowa, OSU, MSU, PSU
In this aarticle it is OSU, IOwa, MSU, PSU
That list is bs. They have a Clemson true freshmen linemen last year who hasn't done squat in front of YGM.
That might be worse list I ever seen
YGM I think had best best stats last year of any of those players and is last on the list.

Epenesa was a backup last season and still made first-team all conference. He had 412 snaps. Chase Young had 784 snaps last year. Epenesa had 37 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks plus 4 pass break ups and 4 forced fumbles. Young had 33 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks and 5 pass breakups and one forced fumble. Virtually identical stats as far as actual production with Epenesa slightly better, but Epenesa did it in 372 fewer snaps and one less game. This year he'll be the unquestioned starter and probably be somewhere around 600 snaps or more.
YGM had 54 tackles, 20 TFL, 8 sacks and 2 forced fumbles in 633 snaps.
