Knowing improvements are needed after last season’s performance, the Rebel defense did not give head coach Lane Kiffin much to praise after Sunday’s scrimmage inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
On the opening drive, Matt Corral found Braylon Sanders for a deep pass that set up a touchdown. From there it was only worse for the defense during the morning scrimmage.
