11 on 11 notes

Today was mostly situational play calls (3rd and 6 from the 25 yard line, 4th and 9 from the 30-yard line etc). Dominate day from the defense with not a single offensive touchdown or big play. Christian Hill and A.J. Latu "sacked" Manny Wilkins on consecutive plays. Consistent overthrows by all three quarterbacks who were hurried consistently from blitzes and the defensive line.

Slant passes to Tim White and Ellis Jefferson were well defended. Gump Hayes' had great technique against Ellis Jefferson on one slant, he got his hips around really well.

Carlos Mendoza seemingly forgot where he was on one play and actually hit Bryce Perkins instead of just 2-hand touching him for a sack. Keith Patterson immediately pulled him and chewed him out.

Post 11-on-11:

Tim White worked with the corners again. He's clearly still learning the technique and position. You can tell he's still working on getting his hips turned quicker and accelerating in different directions if the receiver breaks off the route
