USU football: secondary using depth to create experience at multiple positions during spring football practice
Utah State football held its 11th spring practice Tuesday afternoon on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium, and the secondary is using its depth to create experience at multiple positions.
“Spring ball is a process and I have seen tremendous growth from our first practice until practice 11,” said first-year defensive coordinator and safeties coach Keith Patterson. “Our defense is the same, but it’s different and we are trying to lay the foundation this spring. We are still an odd-front and an aggressive, attacking-style defense. We are just trying to get everybody to understand the broad general concepts of what we are trying to teach.”
