Here's a pleasant surprise, Utah State has been using starting LB Nick Vigil at RB some against BYU tonight!!
you beat me to the punch, Jack.
i just got in from watching the local college basketball team (with a bunch of high-flying White athletes) play a scrimmage, and now i get to enjoy seeing several talented White athletes go at it on ESPN.
the announcers have repeatedly stated that Utah State sophomore linebacker
Nick Vigil might be the best athlete on the USU roster. does it surprise anyone here at Caste Football that he was an all-state running back in high school? likely not. at any rate, Vigil, who comes into the game leading the Aggies in tackles (40), solo tackles (22), quarterback hurries (4), forced fumbles (2), and is second on the team with both tackles-for-loss (5.5) and sacks (2) to his brother, senior linebacker
Zach Vigil. Nick currently has 4 carries for 20 yards and has looked powerful, agile, and explosive with the ball, in addition to his excellence on defense as a starting outside linebacker.
the older Vigil is tied with Zach with 22 solo tackles, 4 quarterback hurries, and 2 sacks from his middle linebacker spot. Nick also has an interception, which he returned for 35 yards, and leads the team with 6 tackles-for-loss.
the two brothers are the best two defensive players on the roster.
senior safety
Brian Suite is also a solid player. he has terrific speed (is a member of the Hawaii state-record-holding 4x100-meter team in high school) and size at 6-foot-3, yet he along with the Vigil brothers are all "somehow" underrated.
****************************
for BYU, Taysom Hill has looked impressive, though he missed a WIDE open Mitch Mathews for a touchdown in the (third drive?) first quarter. he found Mathews in the opening drive of the second quarter for an easy 25-yard score. he also scored on a dynamic 11-yard run on the opening drive of the game.
