re: Returning safeties.

Sage has shown improvement, was very concerned about his future at LSU early in the season.

He has improved. Learning the system and not relying simply on his athleticism. That strip tackle that got overturned was a thing of beauty. He didn't try to rip the ball out until the player was going down and, had they been 3 more yards away from the boundary, that would have been a forced fumble with an LSU recovery. He has 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries this year.

I would also kind of like to see him have a chance to return punts or kickoffs. But things are working now so we probably shouldn't disrupt that now
