As I promised, here's a few observations from day 1 of fall camp.
1. It looked more like the 3rd week than the first day. Well organized...everybody knows their job...good focus. KP more amped and vocal than I've seen him.
2. The offense looks like it is going to be really good. McIvor looks confident and is throwing the ball really well. I just saw a couple of reps but I like what I saw of Carson May. Lots and lots of WRs. Martinez is a stud. New TE B Henry is impressive. Kinney played LT and Pullen RT with group 1. Backed up by Walker and new grad transfer French. Jordan Vaughn and Banks looked good at RB. (JoVaughn and RoVaughn lol)
3. Defense? I think there is a chance for it to be really special. Chris Wright is a big dude. Butler looks strong as does Oke. But have we ever got some linebackers. Holy Moley..Young and Coheley and Moore and on and on. I don't know who #27 is but he is playing free safety. 6'3 or so, covers lots of territory. Mukes looks like he will dominate.
I am really looking forward to how this team comes together in the next 4 weeks.

Thanks for the summary.

I had not heard about his arrival.

We have already had an article on ACUSports.com about the kickoff to fall practices (love it!), I got an email today on the football program from KP (love it!) and the fall sports preview is happening a week from tonight at Buffalo Wild Wings (love it!) Definitely a big upturn from ACU Athletics in communication about football (love it!) Cap'n, just a suggestion, but you, as the Wildcat Chat Grand Poobah, might want to open up a "Fall Practice" thread and move some of these posts over to that thread, because "offseason football" has officially ended. Hallelujah!!

What time will the scrimmage be on Saturday? At dinner with Mrs. Young tonight I said, “According to the CatChat forum there might be a scrimmage tomorrow…” "Did Reese say anything to you about it?,” she responded. So Outsider, I’m not even sure players know. Of course, Reese is notorious for not telling us much.

As far as I know, Sat. Aug 3 is just a normal practice.
The three following Saturdays - Aug. 10, 17 and 24 — there will be intrasquad scrimmages.

I knew it wouldn't be a formal one, but thought they were still doing one. My bad.

Hopefully, Reese got the picture that we’d like to know if they are scrimmaging… lol

Thanks, I thought I had seen a practice/scrimmage schedule a long time ago and then never could find it again. I hadn't seen this article yet. So, I was having a hard time knowing what was what about fall practice. * Besides, I thought we are ready for anything *
