Nojel is a great defender but i do think he gets a little overrated by some. Did not even win the big ten defensive player of the year award.
If anyone is going to know how to beat his defense, it will be Painter. I have no doubt NE will get some stops but if Ivy is as good of a passer and Painter says he is, that type of player can and will nullify his defense.
we will find out I guess. I was a big Nojel fan for his defense but now I say good riddance. I have zero respect for the decision he made, and I just hope that we can make him look silly instead of watching him lock down another guard at Mackey but having it be one of ours this time.
