Notebook: Defensive focus shifts back to basics during bye

Every season for virtually every college football team, the bye week brings chatter about self-scouting. Rather than trying to reinvent the defensive scheme or revamp the personnel on the field, Wilks said the focus last week was on shoring up the fundamentals. “Yes, we did take some time to self-scout and evaluate ourselves, and when you really break it down a little bit, undisciplined, getting out of our gaps, guys just not really executing at times with their technique and fundamentals,” Wilks said.
