Saturday Scrimmage Report

I had another great day of watching Husky football. I spent the first half of practice watching from the stands, and spent the second half watching from the west endzone. There is absolutely nothing like standing at the edge of the endzone watching the offense come right at you. Two drives in a row we got to see the offense work in the redzone and score. That had to be the best way to watch college football, totally AWESOME!!!!

Locker looked good today, his accuracy seems to be continuing to improve. I was disappointed at the number of dropped balls. I saw and heard multiple WR's getting chewed out for dropping the ball. Jake had a PERFECT to Aguilar in the endzone, but Aguilar wasn't able to hold on to it. Austin Sylvester had a nice catch out of the backfield, so at least one position can catch the ball.

The offensive line looked horrible the first half of scrimmage, there were many running plays that got stuffed for little or negative yards. In the second half the offense was able to move the ball well inside the redzone on mostly running plays. They were even able to run the ball in on two plays from the five yard line. So it was good to see them have success when the defense knew runs were coming. The offense continued to improve as the day went on, Bronson looked pretty solid in the redzone.

The defense looked pretty solid. The d-line had their way with the o-line for the majority of the scrimmage. Darrion Jones and Daniel Teo-Nesheim looked really good at DE. Savannah, Foster, and Butler looked very good at LB, and Nate Williams looked very good in the secondary.

Overall I was very pleased with Locker, but am getting worried about our ability to catch the ball. The offensive line needs work, but showed they can get the job done when necessary. The defense looks like it should be the strength of the team.

I'll be out for the rest of the evening, but will try and answer questions and add more stuff as I remember.

GO DAWGS!!!

Thanks Lear!

O-Line play is a little disheartening but the defense sounds good. Cant wait until the spring game. I wonder if Sark will do something like Urban Meyer at Florida and have a whole bunch of things going on…wait and see.

Defensive Tackles

How did the big boys in the middle look Lear?

I thought they did a pretty good job

No one player stands out as doing a great job, but they were not giving up yardage up the middle. They also seemed to be doing a good job of keeping the o-line off the LB’s, which really help the LB’s get through to the RB’s or QB’s. So overall the DT’s played pretty well, but I think Daniel Teo-Nesheim and Darrion Jones really stood out on the ends.

Consider the OL

Big time work in progress.

Would love it if we could scrimmage against Oregon, UCLA, or USC this spring.

That was a concept that actually came close to being approved a number of years ago but the NCAA went the other way with limited practices.

I was thinking the same thing...

why dont they do that. Could you imagine the draw that a spring game againist the Cooogie’s would draw! What a great experience that would be.
