Re: Football Practice
I heard Steve Emming this morning on WNAX give a report on the media day at SDSU.
He said that overall the Defense is being challagned to step up and improve. Chris Cloutte said that they just have not reach their full potential on defense and this year it would be different. Those are not his exact words, but they do need to tighten up on defense.
Brad Nelson, though he threw only one pass all last season said he was ready to go. So lets see. With the lower pick in the poll they have a lot to prove this season
Here are the stats from last season. Despite a 6-4 win-loss record, our opponents had 9 more yards in total offense.
