Campbell usually likes to wait to until he can break down the film before heaping praise on individuals for their performance, but asked after the game if there were any players that stood out just from first glance, Campbell didn’t hesitate.

“Defensively, we’re going to know a lot more when we watch the tape, but I did think (defensive lineman Mekhi) Wingo did some things. You can fit him a little bit in there. I thought (linebacker) Malik (Jefferson) made some plays. Long guy for the position. (Safety) C.J. Moore went in there and made some plays.
