Why did two quarterbacks and 283 passing yards still end in a 45-17 loss? The answer starts on the ground.
Despite the offense putting up some explosive plays Ryan Silverfield isn't looking to play any wild shootouts and needs defense.
Marshall put up some big numbers in a strong showing while Collins starting to settle in at new position.
Defense is starting to take real shape in spring, and the linebacker picture is coming into focus fast.
