Spring Practice Updates

[Creighton Duke]

Surprised that VV isn't on the 1st team list.

That was my biggest surprise as well.

Seemed like mostly the older players go the nod so perhaps that has something to do with it.

Was thinking the same thing, but Curry is with the ones. saunders45 has a valid point though. 1st day of practice. No reason to think this won't change when they put the pads on.

Honestly think that once the season starts, it's gonna be Curry one series, VV the next, and on and on...

Right. Curry is a Soph. VV RS Frosh.

If this is the first practice of the year, I'm thinking the ones for these first few particular sessions have to be based solely on seniority and what has been observed in winter conditioning sessions. There's really nothing else to go off of other than a hunch and bowl preparation.

Agreed. Especially with so many new faces on defense.

It will be interesting to see if the insight remains similar after live scrimmages.

The media had total access to the entire practice for this one only. Normally they get to stay through warmups and stretching before the practice is closed. There was nothing earth shattering there

 

[The Screaming Pelini]

"he has a chance to become only the second major-college quarterback to accumulate 3,000 career rushing yards and 9,000 passing yards."

And the first quarterback to be ridiculed to no end while doing so. Haha

Heard a lot of good things about Alonzo Moore playing receiver. Armstrong also looking good, just needs to work on ball handling.

Anyone know what the running backs are doing with the towel covered football?

Cross is at about the 1:20 mark. The others are walkons it looks like. Frazier is shown doing the feet drills.

But what's the deal with the towel on the football?

 

[swmohusker]

The towel is to stress ball security. Less grip on the ball than with ur skin so u have to squeeze the ball to ur chest.

Does this mean that Armstrong is another fumble prone quarterback?

Brown, Anderson, Santos

My face exactly when I read the starting 3 LB's. These are the 3 I wanted to start before spring practice. Great gif
