The CheckerBoard

If this team can keep up the effort through the rest of spring practice and in offseason workouts, they will be in good position once fall practice begins.

I don't think anyone really expected them to look great after only a few practices. New systems, new coaches, new practice schedules, etc. have to be tough to adjust to in just a week. Nothing unexpected here. Keep up the effort and cut out mental errors, those should be the expectations for the first week. Good to hear they are working hard.

I've heard several people state that under the prior staff, the football complex was a ghost town at nights and "off" days. It sounds like there's almost always some coaches/players around now. That says a lot about the willingness of the players to get better for next season.

That our defense won is disturbing but probably not surprising. Any coaching at all would be a huge improvement over the Sunseri experiment. Good to see attitude comments - keep believing and keep pushing.

Dang auto correct - GO VOLS!

Ryan, how were the running backs looking? It seems like night and day from this staff to the previous one.
