What Did We Learn Fom Media Day
I already beat up on the uniform so this post will try to read into what the coaches and players were saying about the team the coaches teammates etc–you can go to und.com for they have a slew of videos of the days events. I’ve added a clip here of the actual practice on August 16th–sure looks like a lot of speed out there and better yet the guys look excited and motivated.
I can understand Kelly holding his cards close but I think he tipped his hand talking about Golson. He was explaining Golson’s consistency indicating Golson threw the ball (so far in practice) 126 times with just one interception. He then moved along but what is interesting that he did not bring up Hendrix’s name at all–so the only conclusion you can come to is–Golson will be the starter. We should learn more next week when we start prep for Navy.
Other insights include a few minor injuries with just Nicols out for a couple of weeks and a watch on Spond. Dan Fox was wearing a shoulder brace and that’s a concern since Calabrese will not play in the Navy Game.
The coach interviews were interesting especially Diaco who looks like a movie star but at the end of his interview I’m not sure what he said.
Swarbrick was non commital on field turf and jumbotron or anything else, I want both–anything to help the players and coaches win games and win recruits. I also think it’s time for names on the uniforms–I never bought into the Joe Paterno deal about team vs individuals. Let the players decide–names go both ways excellent play as well as scew ups. Also would help the viewer identify subs coming into the game.
Ok here’s the clip–good throws and catches–unfortunately can’t really tell who’s throwing the ball. Anyhow, enjoy for probably last view of a practice and we just have to wait for the Navy game September 1st.
