Football Spring Practice Updates
It is April. That means that the college football season is just five months away. In fact, August practices begin in… doing the math… four months. Anyway, here are some snippets from what is taking place across the ACC.
In Miami, Al Golden is trying to toughen up the Hurricanes. He implemented the “U Tough” program to get the kids into the gym in the offseason. With all those 4 and 5 star kids roaming around Coral Gables, getting them focused on the gym only means bad things for the rest of the ACC.
Up north a few miles, Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher liked what he saw in the first scrimmage. There was a lot of intensity, plus it was productive. That does sound like a good mix.
Meanwhile, in Clemson, the first scrimmage led to only mixed reviews. Apparently, the offense had little trouble overpowering the defense. That will have to change.
In North Carolina State country, everyone is trying to figure out whether Mustafa Greene is still on the team. It sure looks like just a suspension right now–it would have been easy for Tom O’Brien to just say he had been kicked off.
In Pittsburgh, three coaches in three years means that the depth charts are in flux. The quarterback position is particularly unsettled.
