130 players in camp and only 100 roster spots will be filled in just one week.
Today's full-contact scrimmage vs. Harper College (Ill) will take place this afternoon from 3 to 5 pm at Perkins Stadium. It will be a major test both for the players and coaching staff.
"The scrimmage is an opportunity for us (coaching staff) to make quick evaluations and try to make decisions," UW-W head coach Lance Leipold tells Voices Eye On Football Blog. "Having the scrimmage midway into camp allows us extra time to make our evaluations with an intersquad scrimmage set for next Saturday prior to cutting our roster down to the mandated 100-player limit."
As I posted on Warhawkfootball.com, I'll be focusing on a few aspects of building this year's roster and how it will be used.
Some of the things I'll be looking at this afternoon...
1. Quarterback Play: All signs point to Matt Blanchard as the “heir apparent” to Jeff Donovan.
2. How will the Hawks use Booker Stanley?
3. Battle Royal for Hawks’ place kicking job. Four candidates for the job to replace Jeff Schebler.
4. Who will emerge in the secondary with 21 defensive backs on the preseason roster?
5. How will the defensive line shake out?
6. Who are the transfers and freshman that will make an immediate impact?
7. Can the 2010 Warhawks continue the momentum following its 2009 National Championship?
