As far as the RB’s most of the rotation is done during the week then they assess during the game

— Jeff Wright (@jdub2379) September 24, 2018
Petersen said the run defense was solid against ASU which was a tough style to go against

Petersen says with school starting it affects the players. It’s good because they need variety in their lives. The team will practice earlier in the morning now
— Jeff Wright (@jdub2379) September 24, 2018
