Adding Wrinkles and Adjustments - Morgan Scalley (Utah), Branden Jakubcin (Heidelberg), John RIce (San Jacinto HS), Shane Dierking (North Central)
As we move through the early season, understanding how we continue to evolve and build around what we established in camp can be a challenge. We have to ask ourselves how much more can this team handle. Are they ready for the next step in the progression? How much do we know about this opponent that we can adjust to or add a wrinkle for?
While we will have some data to work off of in the early weeks, we need to remember that the opponent is going through that early season evolution as well.
As you will hear today, it goes back to the teaching methods we used in camp and the fundamentals that we established a few weeks back even though it seems like a distant memory as the urgency of the season hits.
Today we will hear from Utah Defensive Coordinator Morgan Scalley, Heidelberg University Defensive Coordinator Branden Jakubcin, High School Defensive Coordinator John Rice, and the Defensive Coordinator of the defending D3 National Champion North Central College Shane Dierking.
They give us insight into the approach they take to preparing for an early-season opponent, adding wrinkles, and making adjustments.
