“Last year’s hiring of [defensive coordinator] Jay Hill is the big story here because I think that side of the ball could turn a corner this season. They closed out a really strong recruiting class, and they’re bringing more guys in over this offseason on that side of the ball. Hill was a really good head coach [at Weber State]; this job is going to showcase what he can do."

"Last year was a good example of a transition to Power 5 or 4 football; you run out of steam, you don’t have the depth and you can’t plug guys in after injuries. They should be better down the stretch this season.”
