Sophomore defensive tackle Ed Oliver ended the regular season with a bang in the Cougars’ 24-14 win against Navy at TDECU Stadium on Friday.
The American Athletic Conference named Oliver defensive player of the week Monday for his 14-tackle effort that helped lead to a win over the Midshipmen. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound All-American finishes the season with more tackles than last year and a defensive effort that has trumped any worry of a sophomore slump for Oliver.
Navy, with its triple-option, run-first offense, was the latest team to see what Oliver can bring to the table.
