Redshirt freshman defensive end Gregory Rousseau is tied for the lead on the Miami football team with six tackles for loss and leads the Hurricanes with four sacks. Rousseau has been a force this season as an edge rusher and playing inside on passing downs. At 6’6 260 pounds Rousseau is a mismatch.
Rousseau is presumably starting in place of redshirt senior Scott Patchan. Jonathan Garvin is too much of a force on the other side. Expect Patchan to still receive a significant amount of snaps against Virginia and for Rosseau to continue to play inside on select passing downs.
