The overall defense has improved through the first three games of this season, but the player who has improved the most since last fall is probably defensive end Vernon Gholstin.

"Vernon has been a surprise, he really has," said Heacock.

"He's done a great job and I'm real proud of him. He's a guy who has come from I wasn't sure he would play this year to be honest, and I've told him that.

"He improved so much from last fall to this spring, it's unbelievable to me. In spring practice the way we started performing, I never thought he'd be able to do that. The light switch just came on or something. I don't know what happened, but he plays well."
