Caden Sterns

[Lhorn 4886]

If you are talkin about when about 600# of people landed on his torso, then yes I saw him play soon after that.  Suspect he got the wind knocked out of him.

Yeah he got smushed. Looked like everyone landed right on his back.

he had his right arm underneath him at the time as well; looked like at least a separated shoulder, but then he's back no worse for wear a couple of plays later

[Bill Lumbergh 7170]

On the radio broadcast they confirmed wind knocked out. 

[Ten Bears 2479]

He seemed pretty sore the rest of the game and not as quick.

Freshman of the Year

Caden Sterns, DB, Texas

Texas’ bounceback from a Week 1 loss to Maryland has been spurred on by its defense. Sterns is a big part of that defense with 25 tackles and three interceptions. Two of those interceptions came against TCU, Texas’ first win over the Horned Frogs since 2013. He had six tackles against Oklahoma in Texas’ 48-45 win over the Sooners on Saturday.

Also considered: Rondale Moore (WR, Purdue), Jermar Jefferson (RB, Oregon State)

More recognition...

1. S Caden Sterns, Texas

Sterns was an ESPN 300 prospect, ranked No. 39 overall, and was a big part of the Longhorns' 2018 recruiting class. He enrolled early and has already shown his value to this young team on defense. He leads the team in interceptions with three, ranks sixth on the team in tackles and has even blocked a field goal this season. His stats don't tell the whole picture, though, as he has already emerged as a leader for this defense, providing a much-needed spark on a unit that struggled last season. Sterns is a big part of why Texas is off to a 4-1 start and making noise in the Big 12.

Not Sterns, but his counterpart in Foster- playing the part of DE with a nice rip and the stop. 210 lbs vs 310 lbs, this is awesome:

Numbers didn't show up for me (Waddle at 1, Caden at 9)...

But how is Brendan Radley-Hines on that list at #11?  That guy may have potential (don't know, don't care) but he sucked bad vs. Texas and it wasn't just the size mismatch.

Based on the Team's current ranking so BAMA #1 is why Waddle listed 1st, TEXAS #9 is why Caden #9

Oh, ok, I'm dumb...  Thanks.  I thought they were ranked by best freshman across the nation.

Still, that guy sucks.

On the 4th down stop against USC, PJ pretty much blew up the play.  He got penetration, which forced the Trojan on the edge to block back on him.  That allowed the rest of the secondary to run free with the ball carrier and no lead blocker.

would you accept, lacks on a consistent basis?

Locke is fine. Go look at the 4 and 2 goal line stand against USC. Locke blew the blocks up and forced two defenders to commit to him. That's the only reason why B Jones was free and had the steam to beat the rush to the edge.

I won't object.  My main issue with PJ is in man coverage when the opponent has a high quality slot receiver.

Which really sounds more like an issue with how we deploy him?

Initially I didn't think the LT was even looking to block Foster - I thought the LT was going to climb to the second level to get the LB.  But after watching it a few times it seems like the LT was so scared of Foster running around him on the edge that the Tackle immediately took two steps to the outside and Foster quickly darted inside of him.  The LT could barely get an arm out before Foster was already past him.  Great play by the true freshman.

Yes -  49 is Graham.  Not a good play for him.

Edited October 12, 2018 by Hiphopopotamos
Either that or they through Rowland out there at DT for a play/series.

[pacman 7330]

Well it was a double, almost triple team, block on him.

[Ten Bears 2479]

Sterns still looked sore and slow to me during the OU game.  Definitely didn't look like his pre-squashed form.

Gotta say, I read "4th down stop against USC" and my mind immediately went to the Rose Bowl in 06, which confused me because we didn't have a PJ or someone with those initials on defense (that I remember).

It's nice to have scoreboard on those fuckers again.

[Tailgate 3018]

Something tells me Caden will look like a flying missile this weekend that can catch and destroy.

Big weekend.

[ousux 5587]

Hope you're right tailgate, can't afford any off games if we want to continue the roll we're on..

 

Hopefully we got the patented "Tom Herman wtf" game out of the way first thing this year..

I don’t expect to see back-to-back wtf games from a kid with his talent. Most kids at his level don’t let that happen.

One player doesn't a win make, but without some of the things this kid has done..not sure we only have one loss right now.

I kept waiting for Sterns to make a big interception and take it to the house last Saturday. Maybe he's saving that play for tomorrow.

He almost had a diving INT on a tipped ball.

That's four on the year now.

Tackling in space has been atrocious, but if he keeps ballhawking like that ...

[fellside 1076]

Sterns has led to a lot of points this year.  FG block led to TD.  Interception against TCU led to TD.  Pick here led to 3 points.  Feel like I'm missing some.

[Jkwellborn 6653]

He’s good with the toe tap.

[Machinator 32097]

Incredible range.

[satyanash 14281]

He's up there with Rondale Moore of Purdue as one of the best true freshmen in CFB this year,

[Tired of Lurking 637]

Lawrence, Moore, and Sterns are shoe-ins for CFB Freshman AA teams.

[skipmcgee 194]

Sterns now has 4 int, tied for most in FBS.

[Jkwellborn 6653]

More than some sec teams.

[Machinator 32097]

Here's the replay of the interception.

 

[Mikey4 2476]

 Caden Sterns is now tied with Quandre Diggs (@qdiggs6) and Chris Carter for the #Texas freshman record for interceptions with four.

#HookEm

Is Quandre's record for the full freshman year? Cause Stern is barely halfway through his.

[XYZ 2154]

Only one tackle for Sterns yesterday.
