Stingy.

That pretty much sums up how well the Bearkats defense played during Sam Houston State's second intrasquad scrimmage Saturday morning at Bowers Stadium.

A week after letting quarterbacks Rhett Bomar and Brett Hicks combine for 200 yards passing and a pair of touchdowns, the defense buckled down and held Bomar and Hicks to a combined 104 yards and one score.

“We are just trying to come together, and the pass rush is coming along beautifully,” defensive end Chris Brown said. “Our secondary is really stepping it up. We are just making this team come alive and filling in the spots we need to.”

The defense was clicking on all cylinders on a relatively cool morning thanks to cloud cover in the area.
