Missile. ......

Came up with some big plays tonight, bright future ahead for Darron.

I think his athleticism will help a lot against a spread team like Oregon. Send him flying after Mariotta

Post-game interview, well-spoken young man (like we already know):

 

[youra6]

"Is this the most physical game you've played in?"

"No"

No hesitation in that answer, and I feel he was being 100% honest. Anyone who watched the MSU game will remember how close the game could have tipped the other direction.

THANK YOU Coach Fickell

Kid played out of his mind versus Alabama.

How is this kid a freshman?

Best blitzer, best tackler. Smart player and plays all out. Straight Silver Bullet

Rewatched the game today on youtube. 12 minutes left in the 4th and Lee tackles Sims on the sideline for a loss or no gain. Then he runs over and trash talks to Lane Kiffin.

He just has it.

And he's going to have a tree in Buckeye Grove after 2016.

A change is in order to the title of this thread.

Sugar Bowl DMOP and what a humble and well spoken person.

When you look back at this season and figure up why we have been able to compete like we have, this young man will be near the top of the list. In my wildest dreams I would have never guessed that the transition from Shazier would have been so smooth in year one. Wow.

He is a younger, more disciplined Shazier. I loved Ryan, but I feel like Lee has better form and does not over pursue nearly as many plays. Shazier also went for the kill shot, Lee goes for form tackles...I think that is the main reason the transition has been a smooth one. Again, no disrespect to Shazier, I loved his motor, but Lee is as good and will be better before his time here is over.

In Shaziers defense, he was our only competent LB and overcompensated for our other LBs who kept being out of position. Lee is so good because he knows he doesn't have to cover for Grant, Perry or McMillan, they all know their jobs and have each others backs. And each has a defined role that they strengthen, Shazier had to do way too much

This kid is a star.
