After Mario Cristobal applauded the defense's effort earlier this week, that side of the ball continued to raise the standard on Saturday.

A tremendous interception from Verone McKinley got the head coach's attention and a back-and-forth battle between the offense and defense was another storyline from Saturday.

Kris Hutson had a 97-yard touchdown, to back up the praise he's received this spring.

Mario Cristobal provides all the latest updates in the above video.
