Even though it was another huge victory for the Rebels, senior linebacker C.J. Johnson still saw the opportunity for his defense to grow and improve off of the Fresno State game.
“We gave up a lot of big plays on defense. That’s something that we pride ourselves (not doing) on defense,” Johnson said. “We think if we don’t give up big plays we don’t think there’s anyone that can beat us. I think that’s something we need to work on going into next week.”
This game action was Johnson’s first of the season after sitting out the first contest.
