Burke looked phenomenal against Iowa. I know it's Iowa. But the way he played the tight end and kept his eye on the ball was way more reminiscent of what he looked like last year. I think he's turned a corner and regained his confidence. His tackle on Laporta was insane

He just has to play adequate agains PSU to make a difference. Just don’t suck and had 3 critical PI calls.
I was just really happy to see him wrap up and take down a tight end twice his size. Big difference in effort from previous weeks. Especially knowing that Iowa wasn't a threat anyway
Not really an effort thing. Kinda insulting to say the guy just doesn’t care
Did you see the catch and missed tackle against Toledo
Results aren’t evidence of effort. Dude had some bad plays
He's recovering from an injury and has quietly played quite a bit better each week since Wisconsin. Not saying he'll be great but he could easily become a non-liability.
Burke had a few rough plays earlier this year. Problem is at cornerback every bad play gets magnified. He's had good plays as well and seems to be more consistent of late.
He's getting better and probably needed more time to learn Knowles defense/Walton's coaching style. Interested to see how they all do vs PSU and Clifford
He did have a fairly significant hand injury earlier this year that he was playing through, and he's no longer playing with a cast. He definitely seemed caught up in his own head at time and not playing with confidence. He does seem to be trending in the right direction. Nothing like a game against an offense like Iowa's to boost a guy's confidence, lol. Hopefully he continues on this trajectory, because his play the first half of the season was poop.
Nice to see Jordan Hancock get out there too.
When I heard about the hand injury, it seemed to all make sense. Soo many of his bad plays involved high balls and he seemed to be in good position except his hands weren’t involved.
I’m definitely not giving up on mr. Burke
Anyone could look phenomenal against Iowa. They have no offense
Dumb, low football knowledge take
Looking good as a corner vs. Iowa is like looking good as a wide receiver against Akron.
Congrats, but let’s wait to see when you’re actually tested in the passing game.
Although I agree in that regard. I'm comparing against a very high standard because I expected anyone to play good in that game. His effort was something we haven't seen recently which is what really made me notice
He wasn't really defending a passing team. He could have come right up to the line of scrimmage. Hopefully against Penn St. he has a monster game and looks like his old self.
