Seahawks Inspire UI Vandals’ D?

 Looking to make a big push this year, 3rd year Vandals’ Head coach, Paul Petrino sees big improvement in defense, team toughness. “We’re tougher. There’s no comparison.” said Vandal’s head coach, Paul Petrino about team development. “We’ll always think we’re great if we compare ourselves to the last couple years. We’ve just got to keep improving, we’re a lot better and we’ve got to continue to improve and make sure we can beat Ohio in the first game. “The two biggest things I wanted to see today is for us to run the ball well and to tackle, and we did that.” Petrino said after yesterday’s scrimmage. Petrino credits new found push on defense to great talent on the defensive line and the tackling techniques taught by the Seattle Seahawks/Keith Boe, Idaho Panhandler. More here.

Question: Do you expect the Vandals to win more than 1 game this year?
