Perhaps I owe linebacker Bird an apology--if so, Bront, you got it.

5 Solo tackles:  Mitchem,  Phillips, Davis, Bird

4 Solo tackles:  Ford, Duncan, Fehoko

3 Solo tackles:  DJ Johnson, Howard

The other linebacker that played, Sonier, had 2

The tackle distribution kind of looks right given that the secondary and linebackers made the plays...SMU was about 50/50ish on run/pass.

I am almost laughing at some of the post game talk, Coach Tuberville mentioned that the running game defense suffered more from not being lined up right--smacks of Coach Setincech(sp)--more than being beat physically...there is some good news in that to off-set the simple fact that some people do not know where to stand when the ball is hiked.
