ANN ARBOR, Mich. — One of the coaches who came in last year who’s had the biggest impacts is defensive pass game coordinator and co-defensive coordinator Steve Clinkscale.
Clinkscale overhauled a DB unit that was falling apart in 2020 and has completely revived it. What’s more, it appears that it’s getting better and better. Though there are moments when they give up plays, the defensive backs adjust, as we saw this last week against Michigan State, in terms of the coverage.
This week, while Rutgers isn’t necessarily adept at throwing the ball, it will be a challenge, given what happened after MSU in the tunnel with starter Gemon Green and fellow cornerback Ja’Den McBurrows. On Wednesday, Clinkscale touched on a number of issues, from that, to how the unit can improve, and more.
Here is everything he had to say.
