2280987, Didn't call him better, said he put up better numbers
Posted by Y2Flound, Fri Dec-27-13 09:18 AM
2.21 to 1.46 TFL per game

.83 to .86 sacks per game (virtually even)

More fumbles caused in 2 less games, and identical QB hurries per game

Suh was a top 5 pick, Donald will probably be a 2nd round pick, I'm not saying Donald is better, but the numbers are almost identical, only difference is Pitt vs Nebraska. Donald deserved more Heisman love (not to win it, but to be talked about more) a DT can't be held responsible for a team being 6-6.

If you don't think Donald also captained a bad defense otherwise and is on a team with a bad offense then you just didn't watch Pitt. As far as competition or whatever else, the ACC may not be the best conference of all time this year, but they are still good enough competition that the numbers are very impressive.

*Edit- Even though it wasn't a big game nationally, he blocked an extra point in a 1 point low scoring win at Syracuse that we had to win to make a bowl. That is the stuff great players do no matter how giant the stage.
