Quick notes:
- Offense played well in 3rd scrimmage after being dominated in scrimmage #2 on Wednesday
- Beck is healthy and he and McNeal are holding down TE. I believe Beck is the #1 TE right now, but it's clear there are big plans for DeAndre
- McNeal is a big mismatch - most oversized WRs don't want to accept that they've grown out of their WR body and need years to come around on that fact. McNeal accepted it immediately
- Ridgeway is back. The coaches told him to just concentrate on running to the ball. Ridgeway's back injury pretty much has him being treated as a NFL veteran in camp. The coaches were smart to nurture him along
- Tyrone Swoopes will take the first snap against Notre Dame. Heard will play
- Swoopes is trying to win the team in how he carries himself. He's not throwing interceptions and his body language is better
- Certain starters on the OL are Flowers, Doyle, Perkins. Connor Williams is
- Marcus Johnson, Armanti Foreman, Daje & Burt are our first four at WR
- Gray didn't scrimmage today. Nagging injuries but nothing serious
- The DL has excellent depth. We have a legit two and three deep
- Santos hasn't practiced due to his injury
- The three freshmen cornerbacks are long with great body control. Very difficult to win jump balls against them
- Antwuan Davis and Echols have both improved and are more focused with the increased level of competition
- As we get more and more elite players into the program, that effect will occur at every position
- Notre Dame specific preparation begins Monday
- Notre Dame has only two night games this year - Texas and USC. That tells you what games they have circled on the schedule
- Peter Jinkens is a completely different player right now
- Multiple upperclassmen have volunteered for special teams
- The team has Sunday off
