Every corner gets beat and in the time they've both been here DJ has been more productive than KT who, despite being the rant favorite, has done jack since arriving on campus.

I know, I know... 5 star, endless potential. Well the production hasn't met that potential and he's lost his job to Greedy. Jackson has done nothing to warrant getting benched.

When he does or when KT shows he's actually better, Aranda will make the change.

You have almost no evidence to support this. One of the countless other threads on this topic disproved your point with weighted play percentages. Toliver and Jackson are near identical statistically when you weigh playing time. Why not speculate that they can compete for the starting role opposite Greedy?

Having said that, if you go back and look at the Chatt tape Jackson was picked on repeatedly, took a lot of poor angles, and seemed impartial at run support. Jackson was also getting blocked a lot by a FCS WR. Conversely, Jackson also had a few flash plays of greatness. IMO the jury is still out on both DJ and Toliver but we know for certain that we have a stud in Greedy Williams. For that matter, the jury is still out if some other vets won't get supplanted by freshmen on defense.

DJ has proven to be much more dependable to show up and play and not get into as much stupid trouble like KT. KT showed some promise as a freshman but has been a bust since. I say let KT stay as backup until he proves otherwise.
