Here are a few notes from the last few days of talking to players ahead of Friday's War Room. Let's call this a little tease if you will.
- There is a ton of juice out on the football field right now. Guys are going at it non-stop. We've seen and heard about more than a few situations where guys are super competitive and things get hot and heavy. We've been told this is just your standard operation of guys so amped up and the competition being amped up. Really healthy competition right now.
- Full pads started Wednesday, but that just means guys now have everything on. "This is definitely not the start of things being physical and aggressive," said one offensive lineman, it just means we now have pads on. We've been just as aggressive and as physical without the pads."
- Mario Cristobal loves building competition and preaches that daily to the staff. The players love it themselves. Been told guys are having to go against each other in one-on-one situations often. Competition breeds toughness, mentally and physically. Guys are going through the grind right now.
- This freshmen class feels special. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks and into the season, but everyone keeps raving about them.
- Mycah Pittman is going to be a fan favorite, and he's also not going to be outworked. He's in the HDC before 6 AM and he often leaves after 10 PM. The freshmen receivers earlier this week spent 2-3 hours after practice going over film and 'chopping it up' so that they could continue to get better. Pittman feels like already an alpha dog aka team leader
