Feels like there isn't much of a weakness in the defense.

They feel like they've been tested a little bit to this point but not compared to what they'll see this weekend.

He's always wanted to be the best and he holds himself to that.

Getting over adversity has been one of the biggest things he's learned through the first games. It's also the biggest challenge.

Arizona's receivers are very aggressive and good at run blocking, good with their spacing. Good, solid, receiver corps.

His favorite part is playing in front of his family at every home game. Calms him to see his family there happy to see him playing.

The secondary takes written tests about the opposing teams every week the day before the game to make sure they know their tendencies. Have to get a 98% or better to pass or they won't play. Watching film and getting the little things is the key to the defense's success.

Julian is working on his speed, being faster in and out of his breaks, and feels like he's getting better.

Coach Scalley is great at helping them identify little things in film, has high praise for the DC.

A lot of Arizona's personnel is based on what they see Utah doing, so they have to be aware of what's going on and make sure they don't get taken advantage of.

First thing that the defense practices every day is forcing turnovers. The goal is still "four and a score". Because the secondary is young, opponents think they can try things that wouldn't work against a more experienced secondary, allows for more takeaways.
