I don't know what changes were made to our practices during the first bye week, but what gets me is that the coaching staff took too long to figure out who would be the first team players, first to see the field. And in the summer, I remember the coaches making a huge deal out of the one or two scrimmages that we had during summer workouts. I quipped that we should be scrimmaging all summer long, almost every day. However late, maybe we started scrimmaging more often during the off week... starting in the first bye week. Who knows, all I do know is for some reason we look more like an SEC football team than ever before in Napier's tenure, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Have you ever seen BN done that? If you watched TAM vs LSU last week, Mike Elko mid-game adjustments won the game, very impressive HC.
