Let's get one thing out of the way first - SMU can whine all they want, Dillon didn't twist dudes knee - straight up tackle and held on thru the fumble.

Dillon had, IMO, his best game of the season Friday night. Did a lot of the little things that make him such a good defensive player - dropping in coverage, pressure on the QB, and going sideline to sideline.

Go back and watch the 4th & 1 near our goal line - A. Hall made a hell of a tackle, but it wouldn't have happened except for the fact that Dillon drove SMU's tight end all the way down to the Guard/Center spot, thus clogging the hole and making the RB hesitate for just a moment. Awesome play.

Go Dillon!

Go Tigers!

He has been playing better it seems. He probably is finally feeling healthy and is back in football shape. Hope he can continue to improve. The completion is gonna be tougher the next two or (hopefully) three games.

A few weeks ago, the first game I noticed him back in since early in the season, he was limping coming off the field a couple of times, not real bad, but a definite hitch in his step. Could have been that he re-aggravated something or a tweak he got during that game.
