Assistant head coach and linebackers coach Taver Johnson commented after practice that the defense has shown continual improvement throughout spring practice.

"We're making a lot of plays, but we're leaving some on the field too," Johnson said. "When in doubt, the best thing about playing football is you can run and hit."

Johnson mentioned he was impressed with the work ethic and the instincts of the defense as it continued to practice a new scheme.

"The guys are really trying to do what we're asking them to do," Johnson said. "The main thing we're trying to tell them to do is not think too much. Just go play. They've got to start trusting that part of it, and we'll be fine."
