The importance of #37 to the Grizzlies is obvious, given the fact that MSU has decided to emulate the practice with the #41. Had Sterk been from Montana, the "joke" might have been slightly more tolerable.
All, that being said, Sterk is a hell of a football player and - as was mentioned earlier in this thread - the numbers do not tell the whole story. He carried that MSU defense in the early part of the season, especially as Troy Anderson learned how to play LB at the FCS level on the fly. Moreover, the Bobcat defense didn't just have him pinning his ears back this year. He played excellent run defense and - at times - dropped back into coverage. Had the Bobcats had a reliable 2nd option rushing the passer this year (Anderson emerged late and Amandre Williams emerged just last week), I think Sterk's sack total would have been significantly higher in conference play. Instead, he faced a near constant double team in all passing situations. Draft Scout currently has him as the #20 overall DE in the draft (Dante Olson is the #16 overall ILB, for reference), so he'll likely be playing on Sundays in the not to distant future, assuming he continues to improve.
Speaking of Olson, I'm in awe of the game he played on Saturday. He was the best football player on the field. I think he makes an instant impact in the NFL on special teams at the bare minimum. That man knows how to shed blocks and make tackles.

Thx. I have no doubt that Sterk is a good player, but I had noticed a week ago that he had pathetic conference only stats, and had zero stats in the game a week ago. I noticed that he had been listed as starting every game. I also know he had terrific stats in pre-season. I had asked whether he had been hurt, or what was up.
Olson has the most tackles in FCS again this year. Is close to 2 guys, from Dayton and Presbyterian, in tackles per game.

MSU also didn't blitz at all against Sac. This was by design because the coaching staff said Thomson would have feasted hard. That certainly didn't do Sterk favors in racking up awards numbers. It might not have even mattered, but it's worth mentioning since the topic of this thread are his conference stats.

I can’t imagine Derek Marks writing FTG on his arms for everyone to see either. :lol:

Lots of people see what players put on social media, especially if it then gets on the internet.

I guess for some people. I don’t do much social media so don’t see much.
Just curious, what in his tweet is either untrue or derogatory?
