An improved secondary and new linebacker core showcases its talents during the second week of spring football

Intensity and aggressive behavior highlighted the start of the second week of spring football practices.

With pads back on, the Vandal defense flew around the field with emotion and ferocious hits Monday in the Kibbie Dome.

“We have to keep getting 22 to guys who like to go play tackle football.” Idaho Head Coach Paul Petrino said after practice Monday. “We have to get the guy across tough by them playing tough. The more we cando that the better off we are.”

With many familiar names leaving the notable linebacker core for the Vandals, new faces will have an opportunity to make themselves known entering the new season.
