Defense is always ahead in the Spring. That's very normal. Slow Spring starts are OK too. Dan Weber an SC writer pointed out that probably the worst Spring ever was the year after Palmer left and everyone looked awful. The number of fumbles and interceptions all over the place is a terrible look though. Neither dude is winning the job outright, right now.
Weber also said defenders on the sideline kept yelling out "JT" at the QBs every time they messed up.
Michael Pittman's brother said he's not considering SC because they play seniority and don't give freshmen opportunities. based on practice reports and interviews with Clancy, it sounds like freshman Hufanga leap frogged every safety on the depth chart but Tell and Pollard.
