Comments:

1/16/2011- vs. Baylor

1st Qtr:
10:53- Blows by his blocker to make a tackle for a loss
10:13-- Follows the play up with a sack. Shed the block with ease and then just went around the RG
2:10- Gets off his blocker enough in the hole to knock the ball out of the RB's hands for a fumble. Impressive abilities at the LOS.

2nd Qtr:
12:53- Quick and nimble for his size. Doesn't waste a lot of motion and can close quickly on the QB
9:20- Just pushes his blocker off him to drive to the QB and get his hand up
9:15- Non-stop motor, doesn't appear to be slowing down
4:43- Great smarts. Stays with the play and breaks free on on the end around to make a tackle for a loss
3:50- Double teamed but still puts pressure on the QB and gets his hand up to force the QB to wait who gets sacked
3:26- Absolutely dominating. Blows by the RG and blasts the QB. It draws a personal foul penalty.

Liuget has a great motor and plays with great tenacity. He can absolutely dominate. He plays smart and stays in most every play. He is a very solid bull rusher who drives hard and can get off tackles. He also does a nice job shedding blocks in the hole. He lost 30 pounds coming into this season and plays at around 285 now. He's an ideal DE in a 3-4 who could bounce inside to play DT in a 4-3. Due to the deep and talented class, he probably gets drafted early 2nd round. But in an average class he would most likely go late round 1.
