.....pretty much represents how well you practiced that week. Unfortunately, none of us (including the media) observed any meaningful fall camp practice sessions. But I would bet, this year's fall camp entailed a lot of limited contact or soft contact, especially during team scrimmages. Both OL & DL, lacked physicality, aggressiveness/speed in addition to poor tackling to keep up with Miami. With the season now underway, I doubt MF will now ramp up the intensity of practices; however, with this being our bye-week, hopefully he will get these going after each other in practice this week to be ready for A&M!
