I've just walked in from Day One of UConn football camp. Sorry there weren't live updates, but that's a new mandate of coach Randy Edsall, who seems worried about the flow of information getting out there about his team. After all, the Huskies have been known to use creativity in playcalling (see run up the middle, run to the left, run to the right).
Anyhow, here are some timestamped updates from my trusty notebook.
4:30 p.m. Offense working on running plays/blocking schemes
4:36 p.m. QBs practice drop steps/DBs work on side-to-side footwork
4:40 p.m. DBs work on their back peddle and opening up to play the ball
4:45 p.m. Defensive line hitting the sled
4:50 p.m. Corners are in 1-on-1 workouts with each other
*A side note -- I love DBs who run routes. Nothing helps them think like a WR better than playing WR.
4:52 p.m. RBs and WRs run routes and catch passes. Leon Kinnard makes a beautiful catch on an out route pass from Zach Frazer. I didn't see who was covering Kinnard, but he beat two men to the spot and pulled away.
5:10 p.m. 11-on-11 drills
6:03 p.m. Red zone drills
Highlights:
Dwayne Difton, who looks bigger, makes a diving catch in the end zone off of a Cody Endres.
New Husky D.J. Shoemate tiptoes down the line abouyt seven yards for the score
Isiah Moore grabs a tough pass in traffic in the back of the end zone
Shoemate plows up the middle for a score
Tebucky Jones catches Michael Box's high pass in the corner of the end zone thanks to Jones outjumping the defense. It was a spectacular catch.
I'll come back later with more thoughts on today's practice.
