You can not get a fair assessment of Te'os talents from this game alone. Do I think Minter's stock goes up after this game? Yes - a bit.

Do I think Te'os stock goes down? Maybe a little - I think his goes down less than Minter's goes up. He's missed a few tackles, but him getting owned is less of his limitations and more of the dLINE's shitting their pants.

Reason being -- Bama's OLINE is simply destroying ND's DLINE. The ND LBer's are constantly getting taken out of the play because the Bama OLINE is getting to them, instead of the other way around. That isn't Te'os fault -- that is on the ND DLINE, he's gotta get some help.

In the NFL, you rarely see THIS huge of a lop-sided blow-out in the trenches. It happens occasionally... but not very often to this degree. Because of that, Manti Te'os stock is okay.
