Did you get Tyrel Wilson and Corey Marshal mixed up in your article? As I remember it, Wilson backed up Gayle at stud (and Nicholas got most of his snaps at stud as well) and Marshal took most of the mid to late season snaps at end.

If I recall correctly, Wilson and Gayle were on the field at the same time at times last year. He started three games. (Gayle started 11, so at least one had to be on the other side for Wilson).
Now that I look at it, Marshall made four starts too. So I guess he had an impact too.

OK, I know I wasn't crazy. This post I had from early November indicated Wilson and Marshall were working at the end spot, even though Wilson had been Gayle's backup at stud most of the year.

OK, checked out the starting situation. Wilson started against FSU at that spot, Marshall in three other games in November.
Wilson's other late-season start came in the bowl games, when Gayle was late for a team dinner. Collins also started the bowl game.
I guess Wilson starting the FSU game was burned in my memory. I've updated the post.

Dadi Nicolas played like a man possessed at times when going after the opposing side. Hope to see great things from him in the near future.
