Coach Brian Kelly says his defense is gaining confidence…

But Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier says the focus is on beating the Aggies…

Nussmeier could have one of his key receivers back. Chris Hilton was a full go at practice yesterday and is listed as questionable for tomorrow night’s game, but Coach Kelly says it’s more about the conditioning than the injury.
