R.J. McIntosh who starts opposite Norton as the other tackle spoke about the Freshmen joining Miami on the defensive line this season. He was specifically referring to D.J. Johnson and Jonathan Garvin.
"“If they can play, they’re going to play…Adding them to the D-ends is a good thing. It will also give Chad [Thomas] and Joe Jackson a break. They’re going to play.”"
