Safety Tray Matthews was not seen at the opening practice and sophomore Nick Ruffin was taking reps with the first-team defense in place of Matthews.

We'll hear from Gus Malzahn following practice as to why Matthews was not here today.

The first-team defense was Carl Lawson and DaVonte Lambert at end with Maurice Swain and Dontavius Russell at tackle.

Kris Frost and Cassanova McKinzy were at linebacker with Cameron Toney and Blake Countess alternating at the Sam/Nickel spot.

Josh Holsey and Jonathan Jones were at corner with Ruffin and Johnathan Ford at safety.
