Gotta say rivals does a great job with all their coverage of the Army Bowl.

Agreed, but it is their bowl game

Haha, thats true. But compared to what espn is doing with the under armor game. But this is rivals bread ans butter.

 

[tlinc]

I think the UA practices just started today and ESPNU is televising them so you can't knock their coverage too much yet.

Was that John Simon in the first run of the East Big Man Challenge? It kind of looks like him, but whoever that was is built like a house and could really move.

I don't remember if that was him, but he did toast his guy when it was his turn, kinda how Dorian burnt the guy he raced. He's gotten a lot of praise and attention so far.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Boyd is bigger than I though he was...

Edit: he threw some great balls in the QB challenge - the Scout people really seemed to like him too. Presently giving a good interview...

 

[DontHateOState]

He throws a beautiful deep ball. Well spoken, too.

 

[scarletngray]

Yeah, Boyd has good size and bulk for a QB. Liked his deep ball as well.

:osu:

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Receivers are up doing the gauntlet now...

Edit: Obviously its impossible to really judge speed in a drill, but Corey Brown was a "two-stepper" with ease in the vertical portion of the drill.

Edit 2: Shaq Evans also looked fast

Dance off video.

I'm disappointed they aren't doing one-on-one's videos like last year. I've only seen one, East WR vs. DB's.

They did those drills yesterday, but I agree that would've made better video.

Dude, corey isn't a two stepper, he looked like about a 1.5 stepper.

That's why I threw in "with ease," but I will definitely NOT argue with this. I thought I was seeing things on his last time around. FAST.
