Actual Spring Practice Updates

“We’ve given him the chance to rush kind of in the DeMorrio Williams-type mode a couple days, and I think we found a niche for him to be able to help us as a rusher on third down,” Pelini said. “He can play low, he has good hips. Obiously he’s explosive and fast, and I think that’s an area where he’ll be able to help us and give us tons more juice opposite Randy (Gregory).”

This, for me, is the most exciting news of spring ball. Super D did all right in 2013.

Most of the news from this spring so far have me super optimistic for the season, but the recent rash of injuries is really starting to trouble me.

 

I don't think I've seen this many serious injuries in practice during Bo's tenure. Is this indicative of a larger problem? Or are is what we're seeing the result of tougher practices (which could be positive for those that make it through)?

I don't think neck injuries like that are telling of anything other than freak injuries. That's not the sort of thing you pick up through bad conditioning or training. (At least I can't imagine it is)

To be honest, I am not really sure what "serious" injuries have occurred? Some guys have pain in neck, rolled ankle, and other daily nicks and bumps. Natter's knee cleaning, which is a pretty standard procedure now a days, seems to be the most serious that has happened during camp.

 

EDIT: Of course, you were talking about last season also...that was just a bad luck deal.

Papuchis said redshirt freshman Marcus Newby is “probably a year away” from making an impact at linebacker — given what Newby needs to learn and the number of already seasoned guys he’d have to surpass on the depth chart. But Newby’s found a role rushing off the edge.

 

“It gets us as fast as we possibly can be with he and Randy (Gregory) on opposite sides,”
