On the defensive side of the ball, Staples notes the early starters with Tre Miller and Peyton Waters getting first team reps as field corner and boundary safety, respectively.  The emphasis and the importance of speed and athleticism, particularly in the secondary, is highlighted by the players and combinations on the field for the early reps.

And just when you think you've got the answers about college athlete eligibility and the NCAA, a judge changes the questions.

With coach Michael Malone holding an open scholarship at UNC, Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to sort out how the ruling might affect that last roster spot.
