That chemistry is making the difference in producing wins by helping the game be more fun for players, Sanders said.
"How do you spell win? F-U-N. I'm having the time of my life right now," Sanders said. "I've been going through so many things in my four years at this school with no winning seasons and we're right on the edge. I'm happy with what Coach Jones is doing. We're right around that corner."
"They've had a year in the system. Anytime you do the same things over and over you allow yourself a chance to get better," Jones said. "We've gotten better athletes too. Better athletes make better coaches and we've got some young, true freshmen kids that are playing pretty well."
"The two biggest differences between this season and last season is our defensive scheme and the players understanding of the defense," Senior linebacker Chase Kennemer said. "The coaches have also had time to teach the players the schemes of the defense. Guys are not making as many mental mistakes, so they are in the right positions to make plays."
