1. The defense is now down 5 (or more, depending on who you count) defensive starters
Kenny Iloka went down in the first quarter, at the time making it as many defensive starters out as quarters played this season. On the other hand, the defense looked to be in solid positioning all game against the overmatched Lumberjacks, save for one deep ball that Iloka’s backup Michael Downing got burned on (the SFA WR dropped the ball). The fresh faces included Downing at Weak Safety, Denzel Johnson at Strong Safety, Ty Summers and Montrel Wilson as the starting Linebackers.
