Doubt it means anything considering Golden said he would start letting 2nd string players get reps with the 1st stringers to gain experience.

Exactly. I wouldn't read too much into it. As you said, Golden already told the press he would be mixing in the 2's with the 1's in the upcoming practices. Not just Olsen, but various second stringers are starting to get time with the first string.

He said that when discussing the Oline.
 
Was at practice...I pretty much focused all my attention on Olsen and Williams.

Olsen didn't have a great day today. He was erratic at times and missed high on several throws. He also made a God awful, Jacory Harris like decision late over the middle during the 2 minute drill. That play was disturbing for 2 reasons....1) It was late, a horrible decision, and he floated it into traffic instead of firing it in 2) Nobody on defense actually picked it off...the ball was incomplete but hung in the air forever.

There's absolutely no doubt Olsen has more God given ability than Williams...and I'm not saying Olsen won't start at SOME point this year ....but I would be absolutely shocked if Williams is not the one under center against Louisville. As you would expect with a young quarterback, his decision making has room for improvement.

As a side note...another guy that caught my attention was Sonny. He's an imposing figure, but Kamulu was eating his lunch on D Line vs O line rush drills. Sonny has a LONG way to go.

Dmauri Jones got some burn with the 1's (Dorsett and Coley were the other 2 on the field with him) which I found interesting as well. He actually looked pretty good....kid has a huge frame for a wide receiver and showed good hands.

During rush drills I saw alot of 4-3 alignments...but during actual scrimmage (2 minute work) we were almost exclusively running out of a base 3-4.

In the article I read he specifically stated various positions, including the fact that Olsen would get some first team reps, as well as some of the 2nd team receivers.

Sonny has been getting chewed up all spring. His footwork is still under construction.

Barring injury Ryan Skilliams will be QB1 vs the little red hen's.

I hear Darling is beasting. Is that true?

I didn't really catch Darling in any 1 on 1 stuff. I caught 2 plays involving little Mcdermott where he was up and down. On the first play AQM absolutely toasted him around the edge ...he came right back on the next play and pancaked the end that lined up in front of him (I think it was Trent Harris).
 
ok so from what i read Olsen was balling with the first team unit but had some struggles with the second team. Don't know how much i can take from your review. a lot of people struggle with the second team considering there's less talent
