LINEBACKERS

Grade: C

Noah Sewell and Jeffrey Bassa combined for 10 tackles, but Sewell usually has 10 or more tackles by himself in most games, so it was just one of those days. Freshman Keith Brown did have a career-high four tackles, however, and depth players like Nate Heaukulani and Jake Shipley got some valuable experience late.
