Justis Nelson: Texas Tech Defense Needs to Finish Games [Interview]
Texas Tech Defensive Back Justis Nelson joined 1340 The Fan's Rob Breaux and talked about what will be different about the defensive side of the ball.
"The main thing is being able to finish the game," Nelson said. "Coach [Rusty] Whitt and the strength staff, that's one thing they've been harping on. Even when you're tired, you finish."
Nelson also talked about the new guys that have brought new blood and fresh energy to the team. The hopes is to improve on the team's 7-6 record in 2015, which was an improvement over the team's dim 4-8 showing in 2014.
You can watch the entire interview with Justis Nelson above, and the rest of 1340 The Fan's interviews at Texas Tech's football media day in the video playlist below.
