Weather was relatively bearable this morning so the players practiced outside.
Stretch Song: Unintelligible.
Supporting the Irish (Green jerseys): Fred Gammage, Cam Smith, Dillon Faamatau, Jalen Harvey. Armand Perry
There was an emphasis on tackling during ball security drills as the defensive linemen actually took down the tackling dummy instead of just wrapping up.
First-team offense: Mike Bercovici (QB), Kalen Ballage (RB), Tim White (WR), D.J. Foster (WR), Gary Chambers (WR), Devin Lucien (WR), Raymond Epps (TE), Evan Goodman (LT), Christian Westerman (LG), Stephon McCray (C), Vi Teofilo (RG), and Billy McGhee (RT).
(I know that's 12, but the receivers rotated)
First-team defense: Tashon Smallwood (Tiger), JoJo Wicker (Nose), Ishmael-Murphy Richardson (DE) DJ Calhoun (WILL), Antonio Longino (DEVIL), Salamo Fiso (SAM) Laiu Moeakiola (SPUR), Gump Hayes (CB), Kweishi Brown (CB), Jordan Simone (S), and Kareem Orr (S)
First play Bercovici hit Devin Lucien on a 15 yards come backer, but the senior was out of bounds, Hayes was in coverage.
Bercovici scrambled for about 15 yards, obviously the defense wasn't going full speed, but he did put a nice little shimmy on Simone.
Third down Bercovici went corner of the end zone to Lucien, but newly minted DB Gump Hayes was having none of it jumping up, picking the pass, and getting a shoulder bump for his efforts.
Obviously just a small portion of practice, but it was not a good decision.
