Thanks to you both for the updates on our transfers. Looking forward to following all this season and will be rooting for them.
Ryan Johnson getting a sack in a high profile nationally televised win over a Power Five team is a big deal. DL don't typically fill up stat sheets so by itself a sack is always notable. On the other hand, Johnson had 26 snaps - notable but not a major focal point. That made him DL2 but there were four edge defenders with more snaps. This could be a preview of the Stanford defense Franklin, Moi, Buckey, etc. may play less than fans assume as "edge" guys constitute the bulk of our defensive front.
P.S. I see SamuelMcF unsurprisingly beat me to the punch. I too will be massively disappointed if Reid isn't a significant defender for Utah. That would speak so many volumes about Stanford vs. Utah it would fill a library. I'd be so disappointed for Reid and for us. He could potentially be our best defensive player (and certainly top four)!
