FORMER COACHES
D.J. Durkin (Co-Defensive Coordinator, Ole Miss): Ole Miss had its best performance of the year in a 54-21 win over winless Vanderbilt. The Rebels gave up 421 total yards. They were now #99 in total defense and #94 in scoring defense out of 103 teams.

Les Miles (Head Coach, Kansas): Kansas (0-6) lost to Iowa State by a score of 52-22. The fewest points the Jayhawks have given up this season is 38, and the most they’ve scored is 23. Yikes.
Chris Partridge (C-Defensive Coordinator, Ole Miss): Partridge’s defense, coincidentally, suffered the same exact fate as Durkin’s (see above).

Kansas hasn’t had a good football team in years. The last time they had a winning record was 2008, when Mark Mangino took them to a 8-5 record. Since then it’s been pretty miserable. It does not look like Les Miles is going to make any progress either. I wonder what’s keeping them down? Is it a structural problem where regardless of coach they’re now a perennial 3-9 type team?
Good to see Hoke doing well (at least for now) at San Diego State.
College football is in a weird state of flux … COVID being the most prominent thing impacting the game this year, but also the increase of transfers, and the growing awareness that the game is becoming more and more about money and winning, and less about the pageantry and spirit of a school community.

Thunder, what’s your take on J’marick Woods? Do you think he would have started over Green or Gray? I think it may have been Spring 2018 or 2019 when the coaches were raving about him. It was weird because he transferred before the season. I am not sure if it was because he lost out to Ambry Thomas for the #2 corner spot, but I can’t help but think he and Thomas would have been a successful duo this year.

Woods was always a safety here, not a CB. I wonder if you’re thinking of Keith Washington from a couple years back?

Yeah, as Joby said above, Woods was a safety. There was talk that he would end up moving to Viper, too, so he was more a hybrid LB/S than a S/CB combo. I think he transferred because he was going to be a backup safety for a fourth straight year, and I don’t think he would have beaten out Barrett, either.
I think St-Juste could be starting at Michigan right now, and I’m not sure about Myles Sims, because I haven’t watched Georgia Tech. But I think all the other defensive backs who are playing elsewhere would not be playing at Michigan right now, anyway.
