I'd just like to start this because he deserves it hands down. Similar to how Werner didn't get one until the end of his final season, Eichenberg is going to be our LB that most likely isn't talked about as much as he should be.

Yes, he looked awful early this season and still has his issues with angles and run fits.

But boy, he lays the wood like we haven't had at LB in awhile. And in a Rose Bowl game that lacked energy early on from our D he brought it and brought it hard a number of times as our defensive team started coming around.

Hickman had the big 4th down stop that was probably the play of the day for the D bit Eichenberg had a handful of huge plays all night. Loved seeing it.

Not to mention he had 17 tackles which is crazy.
