Miami Hurricanes had live tackling ahead of Saturday’s Scrimmage
The competitive practices have the players anticipating Saturday’s first scrimmage. Rising Senior wide receiver Lawrence Cager spoke to HurricanesSports.Com about what the players are saying and thinking about the first Scrimmage of the Spring.
"“Everybody is antsy…They’re ready to go and ready to hit something. We take it as a practice. We compete every day and that’s what it is: another competition day. We’re just going to go out and have fun.”"
Richt has been impressed with the competitiveness of his team this Spring. He is looking forward to how his players perform on Saturday.
"“Another very hotly contested practice, as far as the team going against each other…The guys are really competing. We’ve kind of got a little point system going on. Losers have to do pushups. Defense won today. Offense won the first two days… We’ve actually gone eight plays of live football to really gauge if a guy broke a tackle or not or if a guy got a guy on the ground or not. It revs everybody up, that’s for sure. I actually didn’t run the last eight plays because I was worried about guys being late for class and all. We had a little extracurricular [activity] after a few plays that kind of slowed us down, which was good.”"
