Gophers non-con opponent news:
MTSU football coach Rick Stockstill doesn't hold back when it comes to his main objective for spring practice.
"The main objectice is defensively getting better," Stockstill said. "We gave up an average of 40 points a game in our conference last year, and in the last eight games, we gave up 43.
"I told the defense that if you started last year or if you didn't play last year it doesn't matters because you're all starting with a clean slate and have to to earn everything to get on the field. If you look statistically we weren't very good in some critical areas. To me, that's the main objective of spring practice."
The first step in hopefully improving the group waasa the hiring of Scott Shafer as defensive coordinator.
MTSU lost its entire front four, as well as its best defensive back in Jeremy Cutrer.

Stockstill's son is the QB. He is out for Spring due to shoulder surgery.
