A few gifs of transfer EDGE Ovie Oghoufo

I like what I see. Looks like a slight upgrade from Ali Gaye.

Seems very quick. May need to pack on a little muscle to face and SEC slate, but with our depth I think it is a solid pickup

Please do one of these threads for every transfer.

Notre Dame
Texas
LSU

Kid don't play for crap schools I'll give him that

I like it!

I have a Ray Thornton esque expectation

Maybe it’s the Texas-LSU transfer

But that’s my thought

Can add some pass rush, not much else. But more pass rushers is always a good thing

This is me just being critical of these gifs:

1st one
Alabama RT really wins the rep there, drives him way behind the QB, because coverage is good downfield he ends up with a coverage sack probably 4-5 seconds after ball is snapped...it was good he kept going at least though to get that coverage sack being moved behind the QB in the first place

2nd one
Nothing too fancy here, but he just bull rushes the TCU RT into the QB about the same time their LT is being pushed into the QB. Better pass rush than the 1st one as he gets to QB much quicker and collapsed the pocket there

3rd one
Perfect rip move to get to the inside of the Alabama LT and forces a quicker than wanted throw by QB

4th one
Stunt move that the center completely whiffed on, he did well to get to the QB but I would put that one on scheme as much as anything there with the center being way late to cover the inside


Ovie I think will play a decent bit this year as he has a good overall skillset but he doesnt seem to possess the typical big time pass rush skills we've seen from other EDGE players here the last several years. He's definitely no Ojulari, Perkins or Chaisson in terms of rushing the QB.

The hold on that bama gif has me chuckling

Great stuff T-bird

Ali Gaye was the biggest disappointment on the defense.

He set his own bar way too high out the gate in that 2020 MSU game to open the season. Dude was unreal dominant that game, 11 total QB pressures that day...since then, we've never seen a performance anywhere close to that from him.

But he was never a bad player really either, he seemed to rarely have extreme games one way or the other, it was more of "oh whats Ali Gaye up to today" and he still somehow played like 50-60 snaps...didnt notice anything good or bad really with him most of time
