Spring Practice Six - Short and Wet

Thanks to temperatures in the low 40's and steady rainfall the Deacs shortened practice to only an hour today, finishing up by six o'clock.

It was certainly miserable out there and no one seemed to be enjoying themselves. Most individual drills were skipped in favor of light scrimmaging and drills involving the whole offense or whole defense.

Given the wet conditions I though Riley and the other quarterbacks did a decent job throwing the ball and the receivers did fine as well. We didn't get to see too much out of the running backs. I think the coaches are waiting to go full speed with full contact to really work on the running game.

Everyone was pretty thankful for practice to end early (including myself) and get out of there. Had the weather been better I would have been interested to see if the energy levels were better than they had been yesterday, but because the schedule was so much different it was difficult to make that assessment.

Today's practice was another full pads practice in preparation for the first scrimmage on Saturday morning over at BB&T Field. Unfortuantely I'll be out of town for a wedding on Saturday and unable to make that scrimmage, but I'll put an open thread up so that those of you who go can leave your comments if you'd like.
