“We’re always gonna preach ball security, eliminating penalties. We don’t want any mental bluffs,” Miller said. “Poteet gives us some different looks on defense to fine tune everything and make sure our guys feel comfortable in different situations. And (our) defense will be put in different situations, too and you’re always looking at special teams. So, we’ll try to fine tune all that stuff before we get cranked up in district.”
