Thought defense played well and flew to the ball and played fast. Lot of positives.
But Illinois had success in the fourth quarter and bottom line they didn't win.
Needed to get off field and give offense a chance.
Liked the DL play and got off the ball and was physical. Mentioned Tommy Dunn and they all held their own.
He was the best player on the interior. Such a great kid and understands the game better.
DJ Warner has played well in the snaps he's played. Understands the defense better.
Marvin Grant made some good plays but said he would say there are other plays he can make. Been consistent.
Said UNLV QB is pretty good. Not the thrower that Maiava was but he makes their offense closer to what they want to be. They have a diverse offense.
Thinks they are a better offense than they were last year.
Playing a team in a bowl and then again early in season can change the defense and what to focus on. Said they have a tricky offense and a lot of stuff going on.
