Quote Of The Day
“Those two tackles are playing at a high, high level. The whole front four is. And you’re seeing improvement on the inside linebacker play. Secondary-wise, we knew going into it that we were going to be light. Once you start getting some entries piled up there, you can see the lack of experience. You’re starting to play a true freshman out there and things like that, which we haven’t seen that in a while.”
