Michigan football's new defensive coordinator Jay Hill promises 'more excitement' and takeaways for the Wolverines.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Last week, Wolverines senior cornerback Jyaire Hill shared his thoughts on The Team on YouTube about expectations of the new-look defense under Jay Hill, noting that it should provide a lot more takeaways. "I feel like one of the things when the fans want to see -- more excitement," Hill said.

"We got like more swag, more ballplayers. So it's going to be a lot of big plays. It's going to be made.

I mean, if they get fans, they want to see some more (turnover) buffs. So we're going to get that to them, for sure. You know, put a little personality out there.

Get them a little dance or something. " He wouldn't be imagining that to be a possibility. The past two seasons, BYU under Jay Hill, had 39 interceptions -- one more than Texas had in that span -- and Hill explained why his Cougars were so good at takeaways and why he feels like it will carry over to the maize and blue.
