Chris Smelley practiced full speed for the first time and looked very good. Very poised, accurate and confident. Not so coincidentally, Blake Mitchell had his best practice of the week as well.
The passes were distributed pretty evenly among the receivers. The freshmen WR’s are still in the mix and all signs point to them seeing an increase in their snaps on Saturday.
Kevin Young did not do much in practice and his status is unclear for this weekend.
Defense continued to work on sticking to their assignments and eliminating mistakes.
Cliff Matthews practiced with a protective cast on his hand, and it didn’t appear to slow him down a bit.
Weslye Saunders returned to practice tonight, and I understand he will be making the trip this weekend. We’ll see if he logs any snaps. If so, he will likely not redshirt afterall.
Overall, I continue to hear positive things about the team’s attitude and excitement level about Saturday’s game. They’re using the talk of them having no shot to win as fuel for their fire.
