From an OSU DB re: Satterfield


After the game, Hancock explained what he saw on that play and it's unlikely going to make fans feel better about the job Satterfield did on Saturday.

“It was a relief for sure. The defense was out there fighting. I saw they were repeating older routes. After watching film, I noticed what they were doing and I didn’t really get depth on the post, so I just stayed there. The ball felt like it took 20 seconds to get to me even though it was only two seconds, but overall, it was awesome.”

High school shit at 1.4 million dollars.
