2013 Fall Camp Thread

As others said, yes you can.

Kona was supposed to sit out two years ago, but Tuitt messed up and was forced to miss the Purdue game...forced Kelly to play Kona.

Still angry about that whole circumstance.

Another year of Kona would have been amazing.

aw man dont even remind me!

Remember how a year ago this time the big question mark was the corner back position... things change fast in cfb.

It also helps when you recruit a RB and he ends up being a frosh all-american at corner...

Greatest position change in the kelly era. Hopefully Troy is next (although i suppose he was a TE in high school)

Depth is still a huge question mark. We pulled Keivarae out of our backside, but our #3 is an untested freshman and my only recollection after BJ/KR is Lo Wood getting burned by Robert Woods

Also, his fellow starting corner was a product of another genius position change by Kelly. Bjax could play himself into being a high round draft pick this year

To be fair, a lot of CBs got burned by Robert Woods in 2011.

haha yeah don't mean it as a knock against Lo, just that he hasn't really done anything to merit confidence.

How about 3/4 of our DBs last season being converted WRs? That's ridiculous. You don't see other successful coaches doing that; let alone taking such a team to the NCG.

are there any practice updates from today?

Yet another similarity to Ara. I remember Ara moving kids around all the time. He knew he needed to get his best athletes on the field at the same time.

Flashback: Oklahoma vs. Nebraska | Smart Football

i thought of the 2000 OU-Nebraska game when JUCO transfer Josh Heupal was killing it with a make shift WR core of converted defensive backs and scatbacks.

Stanford has also had some success with positional changes..Richard Sherman for one.

I thought there was supposed to be coordinator access yesterday. Anyone know what hairstyle Diaco will be rocking this year?

Didnt see these posted anywhere, so I thought I'd share, a few player inteviews (coincidentally, with good hair):

Visions of Shembo and that gameface stare at USC. In fact, i'm pulling up the ICON video now to take another look. It gets me jacked up baby.

Anyone find it weird that when Ben was asked how Brian Kelly said both him and Jaylon were going to play, he said 'I didn't even know, that is news to me'.

Shembo, 8:12 mark or so, look the fk out!

Never noticed it till now, but McNeil tries to push in Whittek at the 7:10 mark ala Bush. Doesn't have the same result this time. **** USC and the PAC 12 for writing rules out of the rulebook. I would love nothing more than if they try this play every year with us and we continue to stuff it.

I found Ben to be weird in general, but in a good, angry, football sense. I think he and Grace are going to be enforcers.

I would bet more than anything that the coaches have asked the players not to give anything away, especially after a few players slipped some information earlier this camp about Pistol.

Riddick. That is all.

Ha.

There was supposed to be coordinator access, but it was canceled. We should hear from the coordinators on Thursday though, according to Dan Murphy of BGI.

 

[Voltaire]

Is Folston back at practice?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Riddick. That is all.

Few sights are as beautiful to my eyes as an Irish RB truckin' Trojans in the Coliseum.

Hopefully we'll see what it looks like in South Bend this year.

Did anyone else see this coming months ago when we featured the pistol at the coaches camp?

Not saying.. anything really, other than it was extremely likely, or at the very least, situationaly probable that we see the pistol at some point this upcoming season.
