Fresno State spring football: Slowdown takes effect as defense plays much faster

What has been admitted into evidence so far is purely circumstantial, but that will start to change Friday when Fresno State puts on full pads for the first time this spring.

Two practices in, though, the slower pace of the installation of fronts and coverages on defense appears to be having a positive impact on a unit that has struggled the past three seasons and last year ranked 10th of 12 in the Mountain West Conference in total defense and last in scoring defense.

It gives us a chance to go faster because we know what we’re doing.
