Hawks in the middle of two-a-days this week


The Warhawk football team just wrapped up the first of two practices today inside Perkins Stadium A couple things that stood out for me was:

1. Matt Blanchard's play at quarterback. During one practice grouping, Blanchard connected on 35-plus yard passes, laying the ball right into the reciever's hands for a touchdown. The other play was a fake to me sitting on the visiting bench, then throwing down field for a TD. Matt's grasp of the offense is evident.

2. This morning's practice also allowed me to see how the place kicking competition is going.

3. As is usual at this time of preseason, the Hawks have some "bumps and bruises." I'm not going to talk specifics however.

At the end of this morning's practice, Coach Leipold challenged his team by saying, "Opporunity is knocking for many of you - answer it!
