The Dogs are starting it off slowly this spring ... with 7 on 7 drills. Db's and LB's versus the offense's passing game in third down situations.

On the first snap, quarterback Tom Brandstater hit Marlon Moore over the middle for a long completion.
Brandstater's going to have to be great this season if the Dogs want to pull off a BCS run.

The starting defense that came out was :
Weakside LB: Nick Bates
MLB: Ben Jacobs
Strsongside LB: Nico Herron

Bates got one start last season ... Quaadir Brown got eight ... Senior Trevor Shamblee got two ... I'll try and figure out y Shamblee started those last two games of the season instead of Brown ...

DBs:
Damion Owens and AJ Jefferson at CB and Jake Jorde and Moses Harris at safety. Marvin Haynes, from Fresno, has been sittign otu this spring with a groin injury.
