  I guess I have to talk about the defense, since this is a Spring Practice Preview, but if any of you are headed to your house of worship, say a few words the the big guy about this D.

• Springing ahead to football: Quarterback

  Spring football is just a week away.

  I am still recovering from the shock of the premature departure of center Ryan Wischnefski, but as they say, you get one day to feel sorry for yourself, and that was yesterday.
