A surprisingly honest assessment considering it's from the official athletic department site. I hope it continues.

The engine that runs the machine is the DL, and these passages stuck out from this assessment:

"The Mean Green has six sacks on the season and is on pace for the most sacks in a season since 2004."

"Shavod Atkinson and Kelvin Jackson have been the remedy to a shaky interior and even Eddrick Gilmore has been solid. Those have been the most productive of the bunch. Mike Nelson continues to rotate heavily at this spot and the depth has come in handy."

For the entire team, depth comes in handy. It has been in ridiculously short supply for 5 years in the trench, and is just beginning to turn for the positive.

Linebackers - C+....I kind of went back and forth on this one between B and C but settled with C+. Nwigwe, Robertson, and K. Hill have been above average through four games, but not dominate Tobe had a career game against Ohio with 15 tackles but it's his mistakes that have stuck out. I can't get two penalties out of my head. The penalty that brought back Royce Hill's interception return against Ball State and the unnecessary roughness penalty against MTSU late in the game. He knows better and needs to play better. I've honestly been a little pleasantly surprised by the play of Robertson. Very, very steady.

look, I know it's nit picky but could someone please figure out that the word is "dominant"? "Dominate" is a verb, not an adjective.
