Quick interview after today's practice, most of it is talking about the spring game.

"I'm on Black team, the winning team," Houston said. "My infinite wisdom of football tells me that we're looking good come Saturday... Nick Patti is out there throwing the ball around. Drico (Johnson) is out there getting interceptions. Jamiyus (Pittman) is out there getting sacks. It'll be a good time."

Houston also made a comment about the different points of emphasis for specialists from this coaching staff:

"This spring we've been focusing on limiting our reps, making sure they're quality over quantity so it's fresh legs. A lot more drill work instead a lot of full-on kicks so we're always kicking with fresh legs.

"We're working on more explosiveness as a kicking unit. That's what's most important. You don't need to be able to bench press 500 pounds. It's just being able to have explosion through the ball. That'll get you where you need to be."

Specialists should be a solid unit between Houston and Mac Loudermilk at punter and Matt Wright and Donald Delahaye at kicker.

"We're all back," Houston said. "We're excited to go out there and show what we've got. Build up on last year and be the best unit in the nation."
