"It will be the biggest scrimmage besides the spring game," Bielema said, noting the team would install short-yardage plays on both sides during the week to allow for more move-the-ball sequences today. "We'll get a good feel for where we are, put a 40-second clock in with our quarterbacks and make everything work."

"We didn't create any turnovers, and we need to eliminate big plays and eliminate missed tackles," secondary coach Clay Jennings said. "We had seven missed tackles in the secondary alone. That's way too many. We gave up four touchdown passes in 82 plays, and that's too many, too. We cut a couple of guys loose and let a couple of guys get behind us so we've got to eliminate that."

The defense has not been allowed to tackle below the belt, a rule instituted by Bielema to reduce the risk of severe injuries, and that played into the missed tackle count.
