UNM’s defense turns it up a notch

It was a Lobo defense takeover on Day 5 of preseason camp.

UNM’s defense made several plays and secured at least five interceptions on Wednesday night.

There were a few other defensive backs who made catches, but appeared to be slightly out of bounds.

The UNM defense basically turned around from what it did on Tuesday, when the offense had the upper hand.

“It’s great to see the defense energetic like that today,” UNM linebacker Reco Hannah said. “(Tuesday) wasn’t so good. Today we got better. I could feel it in the air. Everybody could feel it.”

Now it’ll be interesting to see how the offense responds on Thursday afternoon, when the Lobos will be practicing in pads and will be scrimmaging.
