Wright has improved a lot in recent weeks. He’s reading holes well and finishing his runs falling forward now.
It’s Pro Football Focus, so I wouldn’t put a lot of stock into that. LSU linebacker Damone Clark led the SEC in tackles, is a finalist for the Butkus Award and he didn’t even make Honorable Mention.
The rest of the East was crap and they avoided the only two teams in the West who has winning records in conference play (aside: guess which two teams we played?). Obviously trashing Arkansas is still pretty impressive, as well as holding our offense down, but they didn’t beat a team that finished in the top 20.
