Malik Simmons Steps Up

Posted Oct 25, 2015
Malik Simmons was thrust into the starting line up last week after starter M.J. Stewart was suspended. Last week against Wake Forest he played well, but this week he excelled. Simmons came up with two big interceptions to go along with another pass break-up and three tackles. The two picks marked the first two interceptions of Simmons' career and both came in the fourth quarter. (Carolina Blue)
