2nd DOWN
What is the most memorable moment or biggest highlight in Chris Hairston’s college career?
This past year we played Florida State who had a defensive end Brandon Jenkins. He was really a fast kid, extremely quick, had an up-and-under and a spin move. He had a great speed pass rush on the edge. Just seeing Chris prepare that week for him and then to go into that ballgame and do a great job. He did not give up a sack. That was his biggest challenge this year.
Also, we played Georgia Tech in 2009 on the road and they had a defensive end in Derrick Morgan. Morgan was lining up over our right tackle and Chris was playing left tackle. Morgan was wearing our right tackle out in the first half. At halftime I said, “Chris, we need to move you over and match you up with Morgan. Do you think you can handle that on the ride side?” He said, “Sure, let’s try it.”
He goes out there in the second half and plays really well without practicing there during the week. Relying on his technique, fundamentals and understanding of the game he switched sides at halftime and did a really nice job. Not taking anything away from Derrick Morgan who was a great player, but I think Chris held his own that half and helped us offensively be more productive.
