Yes, the concern is who plays nickel with Alexander at corner. They used Hoffpauir in second half of UCLA game. Not good results; I seem to remember him chasing receivers downfield in the first two games, too. He has skills, but covering fast receivers is not one of them.

Maybe put Buncom (who has not gotten a ton of snaps, so I wouldn't say he is that experienced), Simmons, or Edwards at nickel? Hoff at SS and Reid at FS. Hard to sit a captain (Lloyd), but we have to have speed out there with how ridiculously fast UW is. On passing downs, use Okereke and Fox at ILB?
