"Jakes hasn't stopped hitting people hard. As the first half expired last Saturday in Memphis' 41-14 win at Cincinnati, Jakes got a clean but heavy shot on quarterback Gunner Kiel, forcing him out of the game with bruised ribs. Jakes finished the Cincinnati game with 10 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

That play was typical of why people are taking notice of Memphis, whose two losses were by a touchdown at UCLA and at Ole Miss in a game that was 7-3 entering the fourth quarter."

best quote:
"You can tell the community is very supportive of what we're doing," Jakes said. "We just have to keep buying in and keep excelling on the field. It's a great culture right now for the program."

I also liked, "Jakes, whose first name is actually Bronterrious, told USA TODAY Sports he earned the nickname "Tank" as an 8-year old playing Pee Wee football in Phenix City, Ala.

"I used to get ejected from games for hitting kids too hard," he said."

I think you are on to something there. I can think of at least two other famous Tiger linebackers from Alabama: Keith Butler and Damon Young.
