Highlights of the Day

Quote of the Day

"Making plays is just a mindset, seeing the ball and getting it, running to the ball every change you get. That's the biggest thing Coach Roof preaches to us."

Practice #4 (March 28)

Highlights of the Day

In Saturday's 100-play controlled scrimmage, the offense scored one touchdown (Matthew Jordan 1-yard run) and the defense returned a pick-6 (Zach Matthews). Harrison Butker also connected on a 27-yard field goal.

Quote of the Day

"In the third year of the system, we have guys who know it and know the details of it. The older players, you can see them help the younger players when they come off on the sideline telling them what they did wrong. That's the kind of culture you want to continue to develop. "
