The second team is based on very little observation, as all team periods on offense took place inside the indoor facility, which was not open to media today. The team was taken in for crowd noise simulation.
Tuesday’s practice for Arizona State was the first time seeing the team since the loss against Colorado at home. The team is coming off a much-needed bye week as they now look to face another fifth-ranked team in Washington on the road. The team was dressed in full pads on a hot fall morning.
As stretch lines took place this morning, it was apparent that there were some faces returning after the week off. In the offensive line department, Isaia Glass, Sione Finau, and Cade Briggs were all dressed and stretching. Glass and Finau saw first team reps today. Running back DeCarlos Brooks was also dressed and fully participated after missing multiple weeks like Glass.
Placekicker Dario Longhetto got the day going with the field goal unit under the direction of assistant coach Charlie Ragle. Longhetto being one of the most consistent pieces of the team thus far, did not skip a beat today. Longhetto was 6-6 with two kicks made from about 30, 35, and 40 yards.
As the team then broke, the skill positions got into a ball security drill on one field while the offensive lineman worked on the stationary bags. Assistant coach Saga Tuitele and graduate assistant Steve Miller emphasized hip movement with the players. I'm sure they were happy to see the depleted offensive line look to get back closer to full strength.
The offense then got into a team tempo period. Today was the first time in quite some time that it was a true offense versus a starting defense, not the scout team. The period was very short, with little to no rotation. The offense played very quickly getting the ball out of quarterback Trenton Bourguet's hand. There were minimal incompletions accompanied by a false start on the second play by Glass.
After the tempo period, the team then transitioned to playing against the scout team. Much like the tempo period, there was a lot of quicker throws to receivers as efficiency seemed to be the theme today. Besides the quick passing game, the was more of an emphasis on running the football. Head coach Kenny Dillingham did say the team needs to figure out a way to run the football and as the group is getting healthier, this may be a time to exercise more running.
The offense would then go into their individual portions. Starting with the tight ends, Jalin Conyers was back with the tight ends today after working with the receivers two weeks ago. Assistant coach Jason Mohns went over blocking on a sled with Conyers leading. With the quarterbacks, the tight ends continued the quick moving theme as Bourguet threw shorter passes to the tight ends. Conyers led the charge as again there were not a lot of incompletions if any.
On the opposite side of the field, walk on quarterback Hunter Herrera threw to the running backs as Cam Skattebo led, but Brooks was right behind getting back into the mix. All the running backs ran good routes during their time. It was obvious to see the depth a lot better as Brown and White have been available, but Brooks adds another option.
Now turning to the receivers, Dillingham was right alongside the group instructing on what to work on. “Ball placement”, Dillingham yelled to his quarterbacks as the timing and placement were points of emphasis today. Along with those points, slot receivers were challenged to make decisions on the fly. This was the main challenge for the group today as the connections continue to grow through the receiving core.
A punt period followed where the surprise today was starting placekicker Longhetto took the starting punting snaps. Longhetto had a good punt, but there was inconsistency. The inconsistency also plagued Ian Hershey, but Hershey did have a couple of great punts as he is farther along in that placekicker to punter transition.
At this time, mentioned earlier, the offense went into the indoor facility to work against the scout team. The reason for this was to emulate crowd noise as Husky Stadium is one of the louder stadiums in college football. Dillingham referenced the stadium walking into the “bubble” as the “Noise Tundra”. The media was not allowed inside at this time. Was probably a good chance for the team to work on some plays they didn't want the media to see.
Once out of the bubble, the offense did some one on one and seven on seven. The offense led again by Bourguet was very efficient but at some times looked sloppy too. This went for receivers as well. This is not to say things looked horrible, but there were some reps that the offense would like to have back.
Slot receiver Melquan Stovall had a good period, though as he found ways to get open. Xavier Guillory, who has been quiet, seems to be really trying to push himself back into a greater role as he made sure to get good repetitions today. To finish practice, the team went back inside the indoor facility for more repetitions with crowd noise which could be heard from outside.
