A scuffle happened at practice b/w two freshman, and older players got involved instead of broke it up. Riley was not too happy about that. Still said that he likes this team and that it has great leadership.

 

Stanley had a sore neck but will be good for Tuesday as will Bryan Reimers.

Bet Riley looks funny without a hat when he lets his remaining hair go that long.

Here's a quote that's kind of concerning to me..... The staff needing to build their confidence....I like them getting called out for lack of mental toughness.......They need to step up this year.

 

Riley added that the coaches are always keeping an eye on the confidence of the offensive line unit and he said they do need to build some there, but he also thinks they stand to improve their mental toughness as well.

Imagine that, the OL being a concern........Cav needs to get it fixed or get gone. The weakest link remaining IMO. Here's another quote.

Cole Conrad and Michael Decker are now working at center, as John Raridon has been moved out to left guard, where he’s battling with Jalin Barnett for the top spot with the No. 2 offense. Riley said the move is an effort to get the best five linemen on the field and Conrad’s versatility allows them to move him off tackle and to the interior.

I like that Riley, and I'm guessing Langs, are really seeing the need to address the OL. It seems that Riley, as a whole, realizes we need to get the talent on the field at all costs. The moves seem to being made out of a sense of urgency. I really haven't heard from nor seen much from Cav this spring.
