But the 'backers still made plays, with Keith Brown and Carsten Reynolds coming up with interceptions, driving home something Trent Bray has emphasized within his unit, says Kirby Moore. [See video above for Moore on spring injuries] "Coach Bray being the defensive coordinator, coaching the linebackers, just them having a great perspective of what the guys around them are doing,” Moore said after practice. "And I think that really helps guys in coverage playing to the strengths of whatever the coverage is called and understanding the strengths and the weaknesses can really help them make plays on the ball." The linebacker standout of the spring has been Isaiah Hung and while he didn't have an interception on Tuesday, he did break up another would-be pass completion. The 6-1, 217-pound second-year from Liberty, Mo., seems destined for a role this season, and has continued to grow his own game. "It started in the winter," Moore said. "He really attacked the winter conditioning with Coach Hardmon and his staff in the weight room and developing that elite edge. And then you see it translate into the field. He has great size and athleticism in terms of when he sees something go in coverage and breaks on the ball. And he has some length to tip balls and be disruptive for the offense." Related: 3 big WSU questions in final week of spring football MOORE ON DETERMINING WHAT'S GOOD ON ONE SIDE OF THE BALL VS. WHAT'S BAD: "The big thing is you want to make sure alignments are right on both sides of the ball. Assignments are right. And then if a guy makes a play, they make a play. I think that's what you want to see. You want to see alignments, assignments, all the little things pre-snap on both sides of the ball. "And then you want sticky coverage, guys making plays. And then in the run game, we're going to challenge everyone. They have to win their one on ones. Whether it's up front, whether it's in the secondary, both sides of the ball, we have to win our one on ones." MOORE ON THE TAPE FROM SATURDAY'S SCRIMMAGE: "There was a good, sustained drive there early by the offense. And then you saw the defense bounce back there with a couple series. The two-minute situation, that was an end of game. So the offense got four downs in that situation, made a big one. And then the red zone, the offense did a really good job there with some of the different actions that showed up in creating open guys." MOORE ON EVALUATING THE ROSTER WITH VARIOUS INJURIES: "I still think (it's about) the plays and the execution. There's details that we all know within those certain schematics on both sides of the ball within the position groups. And it's just making sure all those things are right. Obviously, if the opponent across the ball wins their one-on-one and we're doing everything right on offense, we can live with that. And I think there's a little bit of a fine line."
