The pads were popping in the West's morning practice today. A couple new players also arrived and promptly made their presences felt. Here are our notes from the session.

Is it just me or does anybody else think that the name "Offense-Defense Bowl" is pretty corny? They had nothing else to call it?

Chris Fields has a lot of explosion. He can accelerate to the ball like no other receiver on the East can, however, he isn’t as natural when the ball is in the air as the other three. I’m interested to see what he can do after the catch in the game though as he has great speed and even stiff armed a would-be tackler to the ground today.

Here's the venue, I'm sorta familiar with it.

The West is 0-2 in the short history of the Offense-Defense All American Bowl and while on paper, it appeared as though this year's game would be another mismatch, this week of practice has shown that this game will very closely contested. Here are some things to watch.

The East's wide receivers look almost like an NFL group. Michael Bowman and Stephen Hill both go 6'4-6'5 and are built ready to play in college. Throw in the precise routes of Steadman Bailey and the speed of Larry Raper and Chris Fields and this is one impressive group.

Anyone watching?

Fragel just made a nice catch on an out route and got a few more yards after the catch.

Edit- I've got it on one of my Fox College Sports channels. Not very exciting game it seems.

edit2- this post is meant for the O/D Game. Chris Fields and Reid Fragel are playing in it. Jwins sorted this all out. Thanks! :)

East wins 29-3.

Had it on from time-to-time, but to say I paid attention would be an exaggeration.

Sideline reporter was cute though.

Fragel is a beast according to those I spoke too, who watched this game

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Wow, it was on today?

Pretty sorry that this game has only 12 posts in its thread and virtually everyone on this site didn't even watch it despite having several Buckeye commits playing.

I don't know about anyone else, but I tried to put it on and didn't have the channel it was on.

I watched it. Fragel looked pretty good, big, good blocker, nice hands. His team was badly over matched though. The Geathers kid set up camp in the west backfield all night. Fields never saw the ball much, I think he caught two and fielded a few kicks.
