Those were your starters. Evans and Ward were backups.


The listed starters were Flott and Evans on the outside, Hampton and Harris at safety. Obviously, guys were moved around, and we played with a nickel most of the game. Where are you getting the play counts for everyone? I can't seem to find those but would be interested to see them. I find it hard to believe Evans only played 28 snaps as State keyed in on him all day. He got burned, repeatedly.

Got it from a 247 article which I think maybe got it from PFF.

I'll paste the corner info here.

Corners/Nickel/Dime - With Stingley Jr. out, and apparently Raydar still not good enough to play, we only were able to get 4 guys on the field here in Ricks, Flott, Ward and D. Evans. It shouldn't surprise anyone Evans posted the worst grade in the group at 33.3 overall in 28 snaps. In 20 coverage snaps he was targeted (picked on) 8 times and gave up 5 completions for 113 yards and a TD, no pass breakups. Ward was next up and probably shouldnt have even played due to not being 100% but posted a 53.7 overall grade and in 45 coverage snaps was targeted 9 times and allowed 5 completions for 135 yards and 1 TD but did have 2 pass breakups. Flott was on the field for an exhausting 76 snaps and in 61 coverage plays ws targeted 7 times, allowing 5 completions for 89 yards and a TD with 1 pass broken up. Flott, Ward and Evans all missed 1 tackle in the game. Ricks was really solid in his first college action posting a 75.7 overall grade in a downright crazy 78 snaps (he never came off the field). He was targeted just 5 times in 65 coverage snaps and allowed 2 receptions for 76 yards and 1 TD, 1 INT and 1 pass breakup. The 1 pass he allowed for a TD was a tough play, he was rubbed by a MSU defender and just misjudged a well placed ball by Costello that went over the top of him for a catch and TD.
