QB play:
Overall, the QBs played similar to how they did on Saturday. The things that they did well, they continued to do well. Same for the things they struggled with. The most significant difference is that Martell started the practice off poorly, but he improved as the day continued. He clearly is more comfortable passing to Osborn and the tight ends.
Jarren Williams continued to be the most consistent of the three quarterbacks. Specifically, when throwing the corner routes, Williams was feeling it.
For the second day in a row, Perry did not have a great showing. On the short to intermediate routes, Perry was throwing well but was by no means perfect. Perry continued to struggle with the downfield throws, especially when the receiver is working the sideline. Both yesterday and today, his passes drifted out of bounds and gave the receiver no chance to make a play.
Other Notes:
Freshman TE Larry Hodges looked to be moving very well and was impressive as a route runner, including some downfield routes.
Keontra Smith and Te’Cory Couch both looked good in coverage and are both extremely physical. They do not seem to be intimidated by the college level at all.
Al Blades was the only player to hit 20 MPH during the media viewing portion of practice. He did so while covering KJ Osborn.
The ‘Big Cane’ returned for the first time that we know of this fall. This is my best guess on some of the matchups and outcomes:
KJ Osborn and Robert Knowles ended in a stalemate.
Jeff Thomas and DJ Ivey ended in a stalemate.
Jakai Clark won twice, once was against Jalar Holley.
Some 1v1 results:
Al Blades beat KJ Osborn
Jeff Thomas beat Trajan Bandy
DJ Ivey beat Mark Pope
Christian Williams beat Jeremiah Payton
Keontra Smith beat KJ Osborn
Evidence Njoku beat Al Blades
Robert Knowles beat Marshall Few
Nigel Bethel beat Dee Wiggins
