Friday's practice was a short seven periods, of which four were focused on special teams.
“I thought we had a very good practice,” said tight ends coach Troy Wingerter. “We are very fortunate to have a facility to work out in.
“We had a full speed practice at a crisp tempo.”
The Cajuns spent all week installing more of the play book, including red zone and goal line. The scrimmage will predominately work those facets of the game. The offense will have the ball in open field situations as well, but the defense will have their backs against the wall on several occasions.
“The offense needs to expand its' play book,” stated Wingerter. “We also need to increase the speed at which we played over last Saturday.”
Sixteen different players caught a pass in the Cajuns first scrimmage one week ago, including several tight ends. Wingerter attributes the increased production of his tight ends to hard work.
“We are involved in more aspects of the offense,” added Wingerter. “It's a testament to how hard my guys trained all summer and how much they've pushed each other.
“We have a good package of the running and passing games and it helps the tight ends be involved.”
