Key Highlights
- However, the first three quarters, with only three points scored combined between the two sides, was, as a European soccer announcer would say, "pragmatic."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn pragmatic games like these, the defense takes center stage and individual defenders boost their NFL Draft stock.
- Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr., a young man with sky high draft stock already, made the most of it. Bain is certainly in the mix to be the #1 overall pick, and he's probably the top overall non-quarterback prospect.
- If the first pick goes to a team that prioritizes pass rushing, he'll be the first selection. That's obviously all far beyond his control, but what he can do, in the meantime, is make plays.
- Bain had three sacks today, with the last one being very decisive. His third sack of the game forced a punt that set up the game clinching plays from Miami running back Mark Fletcher Jr.
- and wide receiver Malachi Toney. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd when he wasn't registering sacks, Bain was still being disruptive.
