From all we have heard, the Miami Hurricanes defense thoroughly dominated the offense during the first closed scrimmage of spring last Saturday.

But if you think the defensive side of the ball will lighten up when fans are treated to the first open scrimmage at noon Saturday, you’re wrong, defensive players and their coordinator said after UM’s most recent practice Thursday.

“We made a lot of mistakes on our defensive side that we need to fix, too. But we’re working to help the offense, so we can’t fall back and slack on them because they need improvement as well as us,’’ said redshirt freshman striker Gilbert Frierson, who is thrilled about making the transition from cornerback this spring.
