It was this morning Bogey. I won't give away too much. I am curious to see what Evan puts out. I was there last week as well, and there were other Cat Chaters there both weeks. Today, I will say, there is a lot to look forward to. The offense did much better. The timing was better, and they had several really good plays. They beat the defense 67-40. Now, the defense did some really good things as well, just like last week, but the offense has had time to catch up. Both the new receiving and running back groups are making a difference. The OL is doing pretty well, and the QB position has some good players. On the defensive side, our DBs are doing a really good job and really complimenting the LBs. The D-Line is rushing the ball well, and we are covering the edges better. We are faster on D. We are big on D. We have a lot of things to work on, but to see where we are at in week 2 of Fall camp is encouraging. We have a tough schedule ahead of us. Let's stay healthy and keep growing.

I am thrilled to see a report on the 2nd intrasquad on-line just hours after the finish of the scrimmage.
Remind me what time the intrasquad games begin. I am thinking about zipping out to Abilene next week to watch intrasquad #3.

I enjoyed sitting with Outsider this morning. We managed to find some shade and we sliced and diced the team for a couple of hours.
So, unlike last week, the offense dominated. A bit of an adjustment was that Carson Walker and Dylan Kinney started at RT and LT respectively and the OL looked as good as it has all summer.
Could we have a QB controversy? No, but Haggard has moved to #2 and he is pushing Maverick. I see him playing some before conference begins. RB is very good. JoVaughn did not play today but RoVaughn had a great day including a 75 yd TD. He is pushing to start, I think. But it doesn’t stop there … Sam and Isaiah both played very, very well. As a side note, Bryan Henry (TE) may be the best off season pickup. 6’2 250 lb Swiss Army Knife. Does a little of everything. Second side note. FR Deonte Dean is some kinda fast.
I could put every wide receiver in this post. Suffice it to say we are loaded. The 4 WR set with Blayne, Hut or Trey, JJ and Nehemiah was very productive. I think they all caught TD passes today. So did Jeshari Houston and Jacobi Boykin.
Definitely the first glimpse of Rick Bowie’s offense unleashed. This might be a pretty fun year.
Plenty of good things to say about the defense but this was the offense’s scrimmage.

I am thinking about zipping out to Abilene next week to watch intrasquad #3. EDIT -- I just found this out and wanted to let everyone know. This coming Saturday -- Aug. 24 -- it will not be a true scrimmage. They will be working through game mechanics such as substituting -- so no tackling, and they may not even run all the way through their plays.

No mention of who might be the starters at OT. I suppose that means the decision on who starts is still up in the air. I may be wrong that in the 1st scrimmage French and Pullen worked with the 1's and the 2nd scrimmage it was Kinney and Walker. That bodes well for our depth. 5 receivers are mentioned but Trey Cleveland was not. I'd bet we see more WR's in the mix as the season goes on. I think this group is really deep. I'm really interested to see how we use our TE's. Henry could be a stud when used out of the backfield. Did anyone notice that Yanta is listed at 330 instead of the 350 of the past two years? Will he be more mobile? This offense could be special.

And it’s closed to the public. Evan, I appreciate the heads-up. Saves me a 3.5 hour round-trip that would have been for naught.

Also, you skipped a sentence in the article: "Trey Cleveland has been fantastic as well." 10 days until game time!

I either didn't read closely enough or more probably just forgot in the interveening seconds. KP said Cleveland has been a leader since the 1st day on campus.

Tech has released their 1st game depth chart. Wonder if we will before game time. We have so many players with Texas Tech ties.
