DJ Waller Jr.

And like I said, that's the biggest thing to remember is that, to me, this is the more manageable – portion of the schedule and I think you have to keep that in mind uh is that Louisville's gonna have uh you know teams that like I said no disrespect to those teams but they're not the level of an Ole Miss or an SMU so I think that Louisville's athletes will be okay and having you know I said Holloman, Teon Holloway, having him out there healthy to go.

Louisville needs to get better play out of DJ Waller.

He's not had a great time of it so far.

So having DJ come out, I mean, honestly, honestly, Maybe Waller would play better if you move him inside to maybe a free safety position.

I do think that Tayon Holloway, he's listed as probable for the game, so he should be fine.

You know, is Bryson Scott going to start this game? out there at the other cornerback position.

What does that do to DJ Waller? Will DJ Waller move inside to more of the nickelback? Could we see some DJ Waller at safety? We have to figure out.

The one thing I was going to say before last break is the good thing is Intrigger has been dealing with this injury after his big collision in the game against SMU last week.

And also, the guys that you brought with you from U.K., they're kind of sucking for us.

So, you know, D.J. Waller got benched for the entire second half, thank God, because he has been just bad.

He got

one of the personal fouls and the holding, didn't he, at one point? He

But I feel like when our back is against the wall and it's crunch time, the defense will make the big play.

And that's something I kind of like about this defense.

I mentioned we went away from DJ Waller in the second half and played more of Bryce and Scott.

I kind of have a predicted player of the game on my Card Chronicle preview curses.

I think you can put him on an island on their best wide receiver and feel confident, certainly more confident than you can with some of the guys that were trying to cover Ole Miss's best wide receivers one-on-one.

You can play a little bit less of DJ Waller, a little bit less of whoever you feel like has been in the midst of those breakdowns in the secondary.

And I think that's going to change things.

And then I think our front seven is pretty good at this point.

They didn't really get it cleaned up in this game.

They had – Villanova had too many guys open over the middle of the field, and then obviously the big touchdown was up the left sideline where I think it was DJ Waller just slipped, and the safety help was a little bit late.

I guess you just chalk it up to sometimes stuff happens, but a 65-yard touchdown on a bust against Villanova was not going to do what we wanted to do as far as alleviating the concerns that were there from the secondary play in the Ole Miss game trip.

Also, I mean, did it bother you we only had one sack? A little bit, for sure.

You saw him play more at the end of the game when kind of the second team was out there.

Now he's ready to start because if we're just being honest, we need Teon Holloway out there at starting quarterback.

We need less of DJ Waller at this point, more of Teon Holloway.

I mean, to me...

Caleb Perry and...

Waller? Is there a Waller on the team?

Yeah, DJ Waller.

DJ Waller.

Grayson Waller.

Yeah, he was up there.

And they were talking about how fast Lil Skinner was.

They just need to get guys in the right spots.

The fact that Tayon Holloway was back – I think that DJ Waller, the transfer from UK, I think that he was better last night.

We saw a lot of plays from a lot of the defensive backs that I thought looked really, really good, especially, like I said, in that second half.

So I don't think that things are desperate for Louisville's defense as of yet.

And you look at the cornerbacks that did play on Sunday, four logged snaps.

DJ Waller led the way with 69 snaps.

Jabari Mack, who was a starter on last year's team and just a couple weeks ago got granted his fifth season of eligibility as part of the whole 5-for-5 eligibility saga.

He played 57.

And then Ben Perry, 17.

DJ Waller, 69 snaps.

Jabari Max stepped up in Taon Hallway's absence with 57.

Bryson Scott, 22.

You have that.

You've obviously got DJ Waller running into the kicker.

Whether or not you think it was the right call.

Don't put it

You know what? Like I said on KRC, when you have nine penalties as a team, you really don't have much of a leg to stand on to complain about just one.

You kind of lost that privilege a little bit when you're committing nine other penalties.

It also didn't help that DJ Waller, who is a transfer from Kentucky, had been...

There's no other way to say it.
