Q. What is the next step with the running game? Do you go into this week planning on having Aldridge ready to go as you indicated a couple weeks ago?
COACH WEIS: He's going to start practicing for real this week. He's been practicing now. We just have not repped him with the first group up there. When I say "the first group," I'm talking 1s and 1As, guys that could conceivably be in the game when a game is in question. He'll be in the mix.
I definitely do not find Darius as being a problem, okay? I think Darius is running hard. I think this problem is more of an offensive problem. It's a problem that we're going to have to work to rectify. One of the ways you could rectify it is by converting on some third downs and don't put yourself in those situations where you're down three scores so early in the game and all of a sudden you have to change the mentality of the game before it's four scores or five scores. Even down three scores in the game, you can stick to the running game if the other team doesn't have a lot of offensive firepower, but they do, okay, which chased me away from it a lot quicker than I would have liked to.

Only partially related, where has DJ Hord been? I know he was hurt in spring practice. Has anybody heard anything about his progress and how serious the injury was?
Torn Achilles tendon, out for the year.
