Jimmy Lake can coach defensive backs

So the team shuffled the deck once more.  To face Colorado, the team sent Myles Bryant to play opposite Jordan Miller at cornerback.  Once more, the results were incredibly impressive. Jordan Miller picked off two passes, while Myles Bryant picked off another and ran it in for a touchdown.

Now the team must face a new opponent.

And the team is set once more to defend the skies.

It’s not simply one player. It’s player after player. Each one steps up and plays better than the brochure. It’s a pattern that is too uncanny for random chance. It’s the coach. Plain and simple.
