Tackling

There have been a number of comments made in the various threads here about State’s tackling or the lack thereof. Since I’m currently in exile in Northern Ontario, I haven’t seen the last two ball games (though the evidence suggests that I haven’t missed anything worth remembering). No one lists missed tackles in official stats, so the best that I can do is to go through the stats that are available at gopack.com.

The following table compiles the stats on tackles for the UCF, BC, and Clemson games. I have read some comments here about the LB’s never making tackles. Those comments appear to have been, at the very least, slight exaggerations.

Here are the links to the gopack.com stats for each game included in the following table. As always, any mistakes in the compilation are mine and are unintentional.
