Gaines Vegas practice report for August 23
This is going to be my last practice update of the fall. They start game preparation on Thursday & I don't want to be in the middle of writing about what they are going to do against opponents.

Before the day got started coach emphasized finishing strong & having a great practice for the last day of camp.

Offensively it went really well in the passing game and not so much running the ball.

The defense really locked down the run game today but as the end of practice came Florida finished with a flurry of passing touchdowns.

ARichardson hit a long touchdown strike to XHenderson. Those two combined for 3 long pass plays Tuesday.

Richardson hit Pearsall on a slant route. On his first day back from injury Pearsall turned the slant upfield quickly & hit the jets for a 20 yard score. Pearsall also caught a deep pass from Richardson.

Jalen Kitna hit Caleb Douglas for a 20+ yard score. Douglas has caught on very quickly this fall.

Kaleil Jackson caught a touchdown pass in the end zone.

Nick Elksnis caught a ball at about 5 yards & turned it upfield for a TD in redzone.

The starting defensive line locked it down. Des Watson got the start up front along with GervonD, BCox, and PrincelyU. The O couldn’t get anything going when trying to run the ball.

Brenton Cox was a big reason for the success up front again. I think I have mentioned him every day I have done this.

Gervon Dexter also blew up the front a couple of times. His motor has turned up lately.

Princely had three plays in a row where he got someone behind the line of scrimmage.

The Dline didn’t do all the work up front. The LBs played well. It looked like Derek Wingo was always at the right place & making a play. He caught Richardson in the backfield 2x when Richardson pulled the ball to run.

Shemar James also continues to look good. He was paired with Wingo a lot & the 2 were locking it down.

Scooby Williams knocked the ball down on a blitz on 1 play.

There wasn’t much to really say about the play in the secondary.

After the practice Trevez Johnson and Rashad Torrence got after the DBs When they were done the leaders made the guys run for their performance. Lots of accountability going on.

Lets go win some ballgames.
