All of the practices this week are closed so there won't be a ton of information but here is what 247 put out so far tonigt.
***Hunter Henry said Jeremy Sprinkle and AJ Derby has helped him and the offense with their play
***Hunter also was joking about not wanting to be a QB because the green jerseys they wear they are soft. He was joking
***Austin said the fact he is getting more reps now help him a lot. He said everything is bigger and faster here
***Chaney said some of the scrimmage was good and some not so good.
- Kody Walker said he’s lost a little weight since last season. He likes being at fullback since they get to do a lot of different things. He said the transition from running back has not been too difficult in this offense, and that he feels as if he’s made a ton of progress since his two injuries during the early goings of last season.
- When asked whether his move to tight end is “a two-week thing,” AJ Derby smiled and said whatever Bielema says will go.
- Grady Ollison said he didn’t have much of a reaction on his move from tackle to guard. He said you have to have the mentality of being a dog at guard and that it’s a very physical position.
- Coach Lunney said he’s excited about all of his guys and likes all of them, but AJ has been a welcome addition to the group.
- Lunney joked that back when he played quarter back, his coaches tried to move him to linebacker several times but that he effectively fought it off during his career even though it might have been more of his natural position.
- Dan Skipper said that he prefers tackle because it gives him more space to use his body, but that ultimately he’s just trying to get on the field. One of the offensive line’s mantras is play fast, play hard, play smart.

I'm really starting to like Derby. Dude was a backup QB who saw a good deal of game action last year and seems to be taking a pretty big position move totally in stride.
You see far too many quarterbacks nowadays with the Tebow mentality of "QB or nothing"
