That defense was pretty darn effective. Hopefully, we will mature and get stronger next season. That will enable us to do the things we need to do.
Every year is a new year, and last year we had success in some areas against them. But we had some lack of success in some areas too.
Their history has been the 'bone. They used one wide receiver, sometimes two. We've got to prepare for that. If they go to the spread, we'll have packages ready for that. It's a good test for us, but I think we have guys who are smart and can handle it.
Chase Moline has done a great job. Hale has done well, too. Both those guys have helped us and we like the other guys, too. The defense should just get better.
John Hale is an exception to the rule because he's a true freshman who belies his experience. He picks things up well. He's smart, he's strong and physical.
