On the Field and on Camera!
In what is a really nice upgrade for the fans, the athletic department website has posted a video of some parts of Thursday's first practice complete with some general comments from Head Coach Pete Mangurian.
For those of you who have not memorized the roster and the player numbers, here's a shot-by-shot ID of the players who appeared in the video, (at least all of them who were not obscured in some way):
-At 18 seconds into the video, you see, (from left to right), Kendall Pace, Marshall Markham, and Joe Ghergurovich blocking against Dylan Leonard, Justin Aimonetti and Nathan Gibbs.
-45 seconds into the tape, Hunter Little begins the obstacle course with Niko Padilla and Nick Melka waiting behind him.
-55 seconds in, you get your first look at Brett Nottingham running a QB drill.
-1:03 into the video, Isaiah Gross makes a catch and moves along the sideline.
-1:06 in you see Malcom Thaxton in white racing with what looks like Chris Connors to his right as the meet Connor Nelligan in a coverage drill.
-1:14 in Nottingham talks with the coaches with RB Cameron Molina nearby and Connor Spears running into the quasi-huddle.
1:19 in Nottingham hands off to Alan Watson.
1:25 in Kelly Hilinski takes the snap and holds it for a keeper.
1:39 in Nottingham throws to Scooter Hollis and after the catch Keith Brady and Thaxton pursue.
Hopefully, we'll see more videos in the coming days!

You didn't tell us who was in the quasi huddle Jake!
Washington's number is listed on the roster as 92; didn't see him in the video. Any word?
He's in practice.
He's in practice.
Glad to hear it.
Who is going to the Fordham game?
With his size and mobility, Kelly Hilinski will be tough for our foes to stop, particularly in the red zone. Also, nice to see Gross back on the field. He was outstanding at the beginning of last season.
We could have a really nice running game with Garrett, Molina, Braddock and the freshman, Watson. Also, Hollis gives us a big play threat on the end around. Maybe Bell and others. Of course, practice is just beginning, so I am probably ahead of myself, but we certainly have the potential to have an outstanding offense.
Another film tonight.
Braddock is still listed as a DB. Anybody know anything for sure? By the way, don't forget Griffin Lowry, he's a very tough runner and Coach M spoke highly of him, saying "he will be a good complement for Garrett."
