I think Jordan Fox has played well in Toohill's absence.

He's faster than Toohill but has gotten burned at least twice that I can remember, overcommitting and losing contain on critical plays.  Once was against Oregon and allowed Herbert to get away for a crucial first down.

Not saying Fox has played perfectly, but he is statistically tied as the team leader in tackles-for-loss with 5.5 on the year. He's also credited with a forced fumble. Fox is pretty much a lock to start next year, I would think.
