Sebastian (Sea Bass) Valdez starting vs ISU

[Hawks86]

1. Where are you finding the depth chart for the ISU game?
2. Where can you get a program at the game?

Haven’t seen any programs this year but there are rosters handed out near the food locations, at least on the East side.

They have a 4 page gameday roster / program available on the west side by the concessions. They are usually set out on the island with all the condiments.

Thanks. I will look for one on Saturday.

This gets updated and released every week with a fresh depth chart and roster.

Sea Bass with 10 tackles and a sack today. Huge numbers for a DT. Of course you have to factor in they, wisely, ran up middle about 40 times with Benson out. Still very impressive.

55 times, to be exact. Crazy!

Yes, they did run it more than 40 times, but I'm just guessing about 40 were right up the middle. Maybe it was more than that. Whatever the case, it was a great example of good coaching, because ISU recognized Benson and O'Reilly were out and went right at that with some success. It's hard to give them too much credit though, because they couldn't get in the end zone.

One of the best things in the game was the defense getting dialed in on it despite spending a ton of time on the field. ISU had the ball about 42 minutes to just 18 for MSU. A testament to their conditioning and savvy. They came up with their first 3-and-out on ISU's 8th or 9th drive, and then did it again on the next drive. The offense scored TDs after both 3-and-outs. That's some uncanny chemistry or synergy or something right there.

Great experience for our young guys! Boy you can sure notice/when Chase is out, not near the push and pile up!

With Benson out it was obvious that we lack strength up the middle. The back-ups have a lot of potential but just are not yet strong enough to handle D-1 O-lineman. They are fast though and that helps. Also I am sold on Banks as a DC. I think he found a way to work around that deficiency by keeping them fresh and dialing up the right defensive calls.

It’ll be fun to watch Valdez play next to Benson. Take some pressure off of him.

Seabass made some plays last Saturday including the 3rd down stop in the backfield that made EWU punt instead of going or a 4th down conversion. Its exciting to see this kid really starting to be an impact player for so many reasons.
1st: Its a position that the Cats didn't have a ton of depth.
2nd: it will be huge in these December games to have multiple guys to rotate when we are playing teams that look like we do.
3rd: Its a hard position to find and develop and to look like we have a guy for a few years is big.

Benson might be the best interior DL we've had since Minter. There just aren't a bunch humans that have that combination of size, strength, and quickness out there that absolutely demand double teams. Hopefully Valdez really blossoms.

There’s no might about it.
