Yancy is the best S&C coach in the country.  You cannot convince me otherwise.

I always thought Tom saying he wouldn’t have left unless Yancy agreed to come with him was just hyperbole. I’m not so sure anymore. The work he’s done with this team is so impressive.

Shep has definitely been working. Looks much different than those HS training vids.

Key with Shep is if he will stay engaged and focused.

So far, so good. If he can keep it up, he could be a monster. I’ll just say, I hope he stays in Austin next summer.

If the line can protect for 3 seconds, the safeties covering vertical routes will be 25 yds downfield and running away from the LOS.  That leaves a HUGE gap unless the LBs drop at least 12 yards deep.  If the underneath zone is 12 yds off and backpedaling there's a ton of space for checkdowns and scrambles.  It all starts up front.

AGREE... Great OL play for blOU the last two seasons made Lincoln's job a hell of a lot easier.

I think J. Moore is gonna surprise a lot of folks this season. 

I'm with you. The dude, despite his high rating, wasn't the most looked-forward-to recruit because he had a family connection and he was a really late pickup, but he's absolutely beaten expectations in terms of working hard and freshman game production.

NOTES
– Freshman WR Marcus Washington and RS Freshman Al'vonte Woodard were both back to practicing today. Woodard wasn’t full speed just yet.

– Senior LB Jeffrey McCulloch was missing from practice today. We’ll get official word later, but I’m assuming sickness seeing as he wasn’t working out with McKnight.

Update 12:13pm – Jeffrey McCulloch was battling an illness today. Nothing serious.

– Practice started out with circle drills to work physicality. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see who was going against who and who won.

– Apparently, there was a big team meeting last night where Tom Herman and some senior leaders talked about the mentality they wish to bring this year. Collin Johnson notably stated that, “He wanted it harder,” in practices.

– Tom Herman then told the team before practice that he wants them to work their discipline. That is what he is preaching the hardest saying, “Talent is common. Discipline is rare.” Also talked about making sure to keep oneself level-headed, “Make sure what you say to yourself is positive.”

– K Cameron Dicker is going to do kicker things this year. He was nails from 25, 30, 35, and 40 against rushing pressure. Like clockwork.

– During period 1 they worked mainly special teams individual drills and OL worked on their cadences and footwork for different blocking schemes.

– Newcomer OT Willie Tyler is a lot slimmer than I imagined he would be. He will likely need a year or two before he is big enough to hold down a tackle spot.

– In contrast, RS Freshman Junior Angilau is a big dude. He is also starting to become a leader as it appears he understands what is going on with certain schemes and what he needs to do. He and Zach Shackelford we’re constantly helping along some of the newcomers.

– Speaking of newcomers, some of the guys they were helping were Freshmen OTs Tyler Johnson and Javonne Shepherd. While those two definitely look the part, they seems to still be learning the playbook and how to execute certain blocks.

– Afterwards, Herb Hand spent an entire period working the crowder sled, which is his favorite thing. This sled works half-man blocking techniques which are important to Herb Hands philosophy and the inside zone game.

– Sophomore punter Ryan Bujcevski still inconsistent. We saw him put up six punts. Five of them were good going for 37, 37, 46, 40, and 42 yards. Then his last one was a shank that went maybe 20 yards. Can’t have that.

– While offense spent and entire two periods working on ball security, defense worked on full team pursuit drills.

– During individual defense drills I heard freshmen DBs Kenyatta Watson and Chris Adimora receive some praise.

– Man,senior WR Collin Johnson is smooth. It’s like he’s taking a test with the answer sheet right next to him. He knows where to move, how to get pst defenders, and how to high point the ball.

Here are some sourced practice notes:

– They weren’t doing full tackling when it come to offense vs defense drills since they aren’t in full pads. Still there was some hard thumping going on in the trenches. From the sound of it some guys will walk away with nasty bruises. Such is football.

– Keaontay Ingram has gotten another gear in his engine this camp. He torched the first team defense for a seventy-yard touchdown.

– Same goes for Jordan Whittington who worked with the ones as well. He was able to weave his way through would be tacklers and blockers to break off his very own seventy-yarder.

– Besides that, it seems the defense’s strength comes when the offense tries to attack it on the ground. They are apparently very quick to swarm the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage thanks to the defensive line.

– CB Jalen Green was tasked with guarding Collin Johnson and broke up a number of passes. He is looking like he may live up to the hype.

– Senior BS Brandon Jones had his own pass break up over the middle. Looks like that is a no-fly zone.

– Secondary and defensive line are actually pretty quietly good racking up a number of sacks and pass break ups.

– Second team offensive line is inconsistent. Some plays they give up an easy sack. Others they open up a hole big enough for Bevo to run through untouched.

– Sam’s deep ball still lacks a little bit of touch to the field side. I was told this led to a lot of the pass break ups. Either that or it’s a little overthrown. Sounds like he needs more of an arc to his deep ball.

– However, Ehlinger’s ability to improvise has taken off. He understands the offense much better and is able to make plays to his fourth and fifth reads. No more missing Duvernay.

– Roschon Johnson placed a very nice pass to Kennedy Lewis for a deep pass touchdown against third team defense.

– WR John Burt made his very own circus catch during practice. Was told he high-pointed the ball and came down with it with the wherewithal to keep his toes inbounds.

– Looks like we’re just waiting for the day when Junior Angilau is moves to RG, Parker Braun to LG, and RT becomes a competition.

– While the coaches are showing Kirk Johnson as the third running back, it sounds like Daniel Young is the one receiving all the third running back snaps.

– VERY INTERESTING NOTE, it looks like the coaches are very comfortable with taking a B-backer off the field and replacing him with Demarvion Overshown. Byron Hobbs was relegated to third team and replaced with Demarvion Overshown. He isn’t a B-Backer. But he’s closer to the line than Joker.

– Also, Freshman WR Jake Smith was moved up mid-practice to work with the twos at slot.

– Yes, Devin Duvernay is still mainly working as a slot. Brennan Eagles was taking all of the first team Z-WR reps. Oh! Eagles also changed his number to 13.
