Coach Porter's Notes
83 passes and five interceptions in our past two games, we need to fix that. We need more contributors in the running game and shorter second and third down distances.
DT Johnson (#7) is a great player who we will need to account for in both the run and pass game. They have some injuries elsewhere on the defensive line.
Linebackers are average at best and lack speed overall.
Secondary as a whole is below average but SS Smith (#2) is the best player on the team and one of the best in our conference. He will pounce if we make mistakes.
