Not boys, MEN coming at him every play. Then after you get around the 300 pounders, you have a 230 to 250 pound RB coming at you thats bigger and faster than you are. Channing Fugate was a monster of a back around here but when you turn on the TV and see him, he looks awfully little out there wearing the big orange. There is a big SIZE issue at the D1 level. Matts the best I have ever seen around here on defense so I think if Channing can do it, then Matt could to.
"Channing looks awfully little out there" Man I don't know what you have been smoking but it must be some good stuff. Channing is every bit 6'2 250. The only players that make him look small are the O lineman and they make every player regardless of position look small. Channing is a beast!

Matt could go D1 not sure on speed but he flies to the ball ondefnese. There is a different kind of speed on the field than what some kids run in the 40 yard dash. Channing was far from small. Up close he is as large a guy that Ut has other than OL-DL.
Matt is well respected from Harlan County, awesome player.

Well, uh pardon me. I was comparing him (Channing) to the offensive linemen (The guys that would be blocking Matt Robinson). The OL guys are GIANTS. On almost every dang team you see. Channing is a big boy, but compared to most linemen and some of those LB's he looks small. Chan is tough and I am not saying anything about him bad. Eastern Ky is a small place and when you get out of here, you see just how much bigger everyone else is that plays D1 football. Hell even the NAIA guys are massive. I am very proud of Channing and I wear my Vols stuff all the time because of him.
