Practice Focus on Quick Starts
For safety Jake Jarmolowich, the game plan remains consistent from week to week and opponent to opponent. He believes that mastering the fundamentals covers all necessary situations.
"I think it's like any other week, to be honest. I've said it a lot, it's going back to our 1/11s — if everyone does their jobs and we contain this quarterback and we do what we're supposed to do, we're gonna be just fine."
Jarmolowich emphasizes discipline as key to success, warning that losing focus can lead to defensive breakdowns. The challenge against UNLV's quarterback is always present, requiring constant mental focus.
"I think any game, any opponent, you have to be as disciplined as possible. If you're not, you're gonna overset a gap, you're gonna go over the top and you're supposed to be the inside or wherever it might be. I think with the quarterback, it's just a little thing in the back of your head you've got to keep in mind."
