Notre Dame Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
Notre Dame football kicked off its fall training camp with a week of practice at the Culver Academies in Culver, Indiana.
By rule, the Irish were limited in padding for the first few days, but on Friday the squad was able to hold its first full-pad session. Notre Dame will return to campus and practice Saturday at home for the first time.
Let's check in on some of the main storylines from the first five days of camp.
Quarterback Competition

We haven't heard much on the quarterback front, as only the first practice was open to media members, providing a small sample size from which to extrapolate information.
Still, according to reporters at Monday's camp-opening practice, Everett Golson took the first-team snaps.

It makes sense for Golson, the older and more experienced signal-caller, to take the first-team snaps, at least out of the gate. And, again, it was only one practice, but reporters lauded Golson's play.

At the end of Monday's practice, Irish head coach Brian Kelly analyzed one of the next phases in Golson's development.
"You're either fearful or fearless," Kelly said to reporters. "And I think there was a time where he was a bit fearful at the quarterback position. I want to get him fearless. I think if we can get to that level where he's fearless—I'm starting to see that move—that's where we want to get him… If he gets to that level, it's going to be fun and exciting to watch him play."

Kelly Fills in for Denbrock
On the eve of Notre Dame opening training camp, Kelly announced offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Mike Denbrock will miss "the first few weeks of preseason camp" after a "recent surgical procedure."
"I had surgery last week," Denbrock said in a press release. "I'm resting and feeling better every day, but I won't be able to join the team for the beginning of preseason camp. Safe to say, I'm already chomping at the bit to get back with the guys."
Kelly has assumed Denbrock's duties during the absence, and the head coach shared his observations on the wide receivers with reporters following Monday's practice.
"We've got really top-notch athletes at that position," Kelly said. "Just spending a little bit more time with some fundamentals today on releases, transition, some of the things that I think really can help them develop a solid foundation because they've got a great skill set."
Kelly said his added time with the wide receivers hasn't greatly changed his overall ability to evaluate the entire offense. Offensive graduate assistant Ryan Mahaffey has handled wide receiver substitution when the position units all come together, and quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur does much of the individual skill-based teaching with the signal-callers anyway, according to Kelly.
Kelly did add on Monday that the Irish are happy to accommodate Denbrock for whatever he is capable of doing. The offensive coordinator has access to the practice film, Kelly said.
Consistency and Comfort the Keys on Defense
With a young defense dealing with a new defensive coordinator and a new scheme, it should come as no surprise two of Brian VanGorder's buzzwords have been "consistency" and "comfort."
In an interview with WatchND's Jack Nolan after the second practice, VanGorder said the idea of consistency is something of a concern. However, the new defensive coordinator didn't want to overstate that concern after just two practices.
"[Consistent good play and more productive plays], that will all come," VanGorder said.
VanGorder said the new rule allowing organized team activities (OTAs) in the summer was advantageous for the defense, maybe even more so at Notre Dame because of the new system.

According to VanGorder, getting his players to excel in that system comes down to comfort.
"They've got to get comfortable. They've got to be able to go out and play fast. That's really the goal of all football players," VanGorder said. "When they get a comfort level with all those things, now you have a player that's playing fast. That's when I think our scheme will become more effective and exciting for them."

Young but Deep
The list goes on and on.
Notre Dame lost a slew of proven, frontline players from last year's team, from TJ Jones and Zack Martin to Louis Nix and Prince Shembo.
But while the 2014 team may be relatively inexperienced and untested, Kelly thinks there may be unparalleled depth this year.
"Our depth is probably—in my opinion— as good as we've ever had [in my five years at Notre Dame]," Kelly said in an interview with WatchND's Jack Nolan. "They're not as experienced, but they will get a chance to show that."
Kelly said he won't hesitate to dip into the depth, assuring Notre Dame will play a lot of players on both sides of the ball.

When asked about players who stood out early on, Kelly highlighted some of those young, unproven players.
"I'd say it's the younger guys that played small roles last year," Kelly said. "They are really starting to show themselves this season. Chris Brown is going to play a prominent role. Will Fuller is going to play a prominent role. I think you are going to see a lot more from guys like Devin Butler and Cole Luke. I think we all know that we are going to have to find some young guys to provide some pass rush."
Notre Dame's fate in 2014 could very well rest on the development of such young players, those asked to replace the Martins and Shembos of years past.

LSU Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
LSU head coach Les Miles finally got to play with his new toys at fall camp.
The Tigers reported to campus for the beginning of fall camp on Sunday and hit the field on Monday. It was the first time Miles got to work with the heavily anticipated 2014 recruiting class.
Miles was not disappointed.
"I think what you see is some very, very talented guys, and some guys that learn quickly," Miles said, per The (Shreveport) Times. "And this class is that style of class that you can win a national championship with at some point in time, hopefully sooner than later."
LSU's practices have been divided into two sessions. The morning features projected starters, while the afternoon is focused on freshmen and backups.
Friday will be the full team practice in full pads. Here is a recap of how things have gone the first four practices of camp.
Quarterback Battle Heating Up
Miles has not given any indication of who his starting quarterback will be in the season opener against Wisconsin. Sophomore Anthony Jennings and freshman Brandon Harris have rotated working with the morning group.
Jennings was with the morning group on Monday and Wednesday, while Harris took the Tuesday and Thursday repetitions. LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has worked closely with both quarterbacks on every aspect of their game.
The battle between Harris and Jennings is a close one. Miles and Cameron will likely hold off on their decision for the next few weeks. Yet, Miles said Harris looked spectacular in Thursday's practice.
"He (Harris) made some of the best throws I've seen today," said Miles per thenewsstar.com.
Fournette and Freshmen Dazzle
Miles cannot wait to see Leonard Fournette in full pads Friday.
"It's like having Tiger Woods on the golf course with a putter," Miles said on Wednesday, per The Times-Picayune. "You just want to see him tee off, don't you. We'll have to put pads on before we can see him tee off."
Fournette began the week working with the afternoon group and was eventually moved to the morning session on Wednesday.
LSU's freshmen class of receivers also made a strong impression. The 6'3'' Malachi Dupre was working with the veterans on the first day of practice.
D.J. Chark, Trey Quinn and Tony Upchurch also made their debuts. Chark, the lowest-rated recruit of the group, earned high praise from Miles.
Jalen Mills Returns to Team
LSU safety Jalen Mills' second-degree battery charge for an alleged altercation this offseason was reduced to simple battery on Monday, per The (Shreveport) Times. Mills was on the field for practice the same day. He was inserted with the morning group on Tuesday.
"A misdemeanor being what it is, we're moving forward," Miles said, per The Times-Picayune. "All I can tell you is we're going to handle it internally and work him right here."
Mills is LSU's best safety, and defensive coordinator John Chavis loves his versatility. But it is unlikely he plays in the season opener against Wisconsin.
LSU has plenty of young talent and depth at safety, including 5-star freshman Jamal Adams. Veteran returnees Rickey Jefferson, Ronald Martin and Corey Thompson are more than capable of filling the void.
Bleacher Report's Adam Kramer, Barrett Sallee and Michael Felder love the talent the Tigers have in the secondary.
Big Cat Drill
LSU's famed Big Cat Drill was back this week. Geaux247.com's Shea Dixon has the full video.
Dixon also captured LSU's skill position players going through "The Gauntlet." He archived the full list of participants at Geaux247.com.
Fall Camp Schedule
LSU will practice again Saturday after putting on full pads for the first time Friday morning. On Sunday, the Tigers will have their annual Fan Day at 6:30 p.m. CST at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and Carl Maddox Field House on campus. Media day will be held on the same day in the hours prior.
When LSU returns to the field next Monday, expect similar practices to week one's. Do not expect any major position changes or decisions on the depth chart, especially at quarterback.
Here is LSU's schedule for next week, via The Advocate.
Monday, Aug. 11, 9:15 a.m. practice
Tuesday, Aug. 12, 8:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. practice
Wednesday, Aug. 13, 9:15 a.m. practice
Thursday, Aug. 14, 4 p.m. walkthrough
Friday, Aug. 15, 8:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. practice
Saturday, Aug. 16, 10:45 a.m. scrimmage at Tiger Stadium (closed to the public/media)

Auburn Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
AUBURN, Ala. — In the first two minutes of his first fall camp press conference, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn made three important announcements:
Starting quarterback Nick Marshall would not start against Arkansas for his marijuana citation.
Cornerback Jonathon Mincy would miss time in the opener too for his drug arrest.
Finally, SEC All-Freshman left guard Alex Kozan suffered an offseason back injury that required season-ending surgery.
With that news out of the way early in camp, it has been business as usual and back to football for Auburn.
The Tigers wrapped up their first full week of fall practice Thursday and will have their first off day on Friday. Since last Friday's opener, Auburn has had one scrimmage at Jordan-Hare Stadium and its first two-a-day practice.
Here is a wrap-up of all the major news and notes from the defending SEC champions' first few days of fall camp.
Marshall and Johnson Rotating at First-Team Quarterback
Now that Marshall will not start the season opener against Arkansas, all eyes are on backup quarterback Jeremy Johnson.
In anticipation of the opener, Johnson has gotten more time to practice with Auburn's returning offensive starters.
Malzahn and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee have not announced how much time Marshall will miss against the Razorbacks, but they both have said Johnson will get more time with the first-team offense this season.
"Me and Rhett decided Jeremy Johnson was going to have a bigger role regardless this year," Malzahn said. "We've talked about him and his ability and how we feel about him. We feel very good about our quarterback position as a whole."
Teammates say Johnson, who did not go live in Wednesday's scrimmage, has now taken more of a leadership role with the offense and with the entire team.
"Jeremy Johnson has come a long way from his freshman year," H-back Brandon Fulse said. "Most freshmen are immature, just kind of lollygagging, but now he's stepped up. Jeremy Johnson will be a leader now and when Nick leaves, and he carries this team. First game, anytime you put him in, we have 100 percent that Jeremy Johnson will get the job done."
Offensive Line Depth Getting Tested Early
During the spring, Auburn experimented with rotations along the offensive line. A few tackles moved to the interior for some work, while other players flipped to the opposite side of the front five.
That experimentation is paying off early for the Tigers.
With Kozan out for the season, starting right guard Chad Slade moved to left guard, while starting right tackle Avery Young moved inside to guard. However, Slade was held out of Auburn's Tuesday practice and Wednesday scrimmage with a minor injury.
"He was one of the guys we held out," Malzahn said Wednesday. "He's fine. He just got a little banged up. Fall camp, a lot of times, especially with the guys we have a lot of information about, you just want to be smart."
According to defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson, Auburn's midweek scrimmage was focused on "evaluating the entire depth chart," which opened the door for several younger players to stand out in the deep offensive line unit. One player who impressed coaches was Slade's replacement, backup left guard Devonte Danzey.
"We've really seen him improve in the spring, and now he's just improved even more," Malzahn said. "It's almost good to put guys in there with certain groups, see how they respond, and so far, he's responded well. You know, we're trying to develop depth in our offensive line, especially without Kozan."
Several True Freshmen Making Early Impact
Last fall, Carl Lawson, Montravius Adams and Marcus Davis were some of the players who contributed to the Tigers' success as true freshmen. This fall, a whole host of newcomers are fighting for their chance to receive some spotlight and hopefully playing time when the season begins.
The biggest spotlight so far this camp has been from the biggest newcomer, 6'6" offensive lineman Braden Smith.
"If I saw Braden in public and I didn't know him at all, and you told me he was a freshman in college, I would not believe you at all," Slade said. "He's one athlete, big and strong. He's going to be something great."
Smith, who was nicknamed Drago because center Reese Dismukes said he "looks like the Russian of Rocky IV," is a freshman Auburn's staff has tabbed as a player with a shot to get in the rotation this fall. After he showcased his athleticism and pure power in offensive line drills throughout the week, the Kansas native was a topic of discussion for both offensive and defensive players in interviews.
On defense, true freshmen Raashed Kennion, Andrew Williams, Tre' Williams, Stephen Roberts and Markell Boston were singled out for praise in Ellis Johnson's Thursday press conference. Roberts has gotten additional work in Auburn's kick returner battle, along with running back Roc Thomas and wide receiver (and early enrollee) Stanton Truitt.
"Here's the deal with Stanton: He is super-fast," Malzahn said last Saturday. "He's got electric speed. So finding ways to get him the ball in space or maybe in the return game or something like that, he's capable of taking it the distance anywhere on the field."
Returning Defensive Starters Shifting to New Positions
The story of spring for Auburn's defensive line was "the Rhino package," senior defensive tackle Gabe Wright's name for the larger front four that will be used to combat power offenses.
Now, this fall, it appears the package's namesake will become more of a permanent feature at a new position: defensive end. The slimmer Wright wanted a chance to fill in the position after the departure of Dee Ford and the injury to Carl Lawson, and he has made an impression on the defense so far in camp.
"Gabe is very versatile at everything he does," linebacker Kris Frost said. "He's very athletic and very strong. I could really see him at any spot on that D-line, and I know he's going to succeed [at defensive end]."
While Wright is moving to a new spot on Auburn's heavily rotating defensive line, another returning starter is moving back to a familiar position in his return from injury.
Josh Holsey, who started as safety for the Tigers last season before tearing his ACL, is now getting most of his playing time at cornerback, where the team is trying to replace the departed Chris Davis.
"I know it's a big spot to fill from what he did last year," Holsey said. "I know from watching him my freshman year because I played boundary corner as well. I watched Chris Davis a lot. I know everything he did, and he taught me a lot of things. I know those are big shoes to fill, but I feel like I'm capable."
Quick Hits
Ellis Johnson gave an exhaustive injury update for his defense on Thursday evening:
- Defensive tackle Devaroe Lawrence missed two practices and a scrimmage with an undisclosed injury before returning Thursday.
- Projected starting safety Derrick Moncrief missed a practice-and-a-half with an illness.
- Star Justin Garrett missed some time during Thursday's practice with an injury.
- Wide receiver-turned-cornerback Trovon Reed has been held out of practice with a "nagging" hamstring injury.
- Weak-side linebacker Khari Harding avoided missing practice time after injuring his wrist.
- Offensive lineman Austin Golson has been held out of the last few practices with an undisclosed injury. The Ole Miss transfer must sit out a year before he is eligible with the Tigers, but he was practicing with the second-string offensive line before his injury.
- On the positive side of injury news for Auburn fans, wide receiver Jaylon Denson is at 100 percent in practice. Denson suffered a season-ending tear to his patellar tendon against LSU in 2013. During the media viewing windows of the Tigers' earlier practices, Denson looked sharp running routes and making hard cuts.
- The offense has practiced several times with a four-wide, no H-back shotgun set, which was seldom seen last season outside of the BCS National Championship Game. Defensively, Johnson has installed an "expanded dime package" for third-down situations that will include three-down linemen, two linebackers and six defensive backs.

Nebraska Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
Nebraska opened fall camp this week, which was kicked off by the annual Fan Day on August 1.
Bo Pelini has given the media access to fall camp, much like he did for spring practice. This will allow more insight for fans as the season gets closer. While it's only the first week, position battles and storylines are already starting to take shape.
News from the Week
Junior Charles Jackson will miss the entire season due to a leg injury, per Jon Nyatawa of the Omaha World-Herald. The news is disappointing for the Huskers, who expected Jackson to start at nickel.
"It's a tough blow because he's put a lot of work in, a lot of time into it," Pelini said to the media. "It's very unfortunate for Charles."
Jackson still has his redshirt, which would allow him to play two additional years at Nebraska once fully recovered. Byerson Cockrell is expected to be Jackson's replacement.
In other injury news, long snapper Gabe Miller is out with a back issue. Pelini told reporters that he should be out at least a few days. His replacement is a work in progress.
Important Position Battles
Josh Banderas and Michael Rose Jr. are expected to compete for the middle linebacker job. Defensive coordinator John Papuchis said it's likely the position battle will last throughout fall camp, per Nyatawa.
It's been pretty clear that the quarterback position is Tommy Armstrong's to lose. Pelini said as much during Big Ten media days, as the SandhillsExpress.com reported. Is that still the case?
During the Aug. 6 practice, offensive coordinator Tim Beck was asked how the quarterbacks look. Per Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald, Tommy Armstrong, Ryker Fyfe and Johnny Stanton all have work to do but are improving:
I feel like they're at practice three of fall camp, as sophomores. They've got a long way to go, yeah. Just inconsistency right now. We're putting in the install (of the offense) and their heads were swimming a little bit. But there's a lot of good things that they're doing right now. I'm pleased. I'm seeing improvement every day.
Stanton and Fyfe had a chance to work with the No. 1 offense this week. Reporters at camp were very impressed with Fyfe right off the bat.
Armstrong, on the other hand, looks ready to put in the time needed to guarantee the spot is his come Aug. 30.
Biggest Storylines
During the Huskers' first practice, something was different. That was the new Catapult GPS trackers. I took a more in-depth look at the trackers, which have been a favorite of Florida State's Jimbo Fisher. In fact, Fisher credits some of the Seminoles' success in 2013 to the trackers.
As for Nebraska, Pelini spoke briefly about them to the media following the Aug. 4 practice.
"They can track these guys, built up some data and learn a lot as far as making sure we're tailoring practice the right way, not only for performance, but for injury prevention and that type of thing," Pelini told reporters.
Efficiency has been the buzzword for fall camp so far. As 247Sports' Michael Bruntz noted, the Huskers practiced for a little less than two hours during the Aug. 4 practice. Bruntz also reported that, "Nebraska cut through some of the walk thru time at the beginning of practice, though the number of plays run won't change."

Ohio State Football: Why Curtis Samuel Will Live Up to Preseason Hype
When Curtis Samuel's name was called during a spring scrimmage in April, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer gave him one simple instruction.
"Just go," Meyer told the freshman running back, according to Ari Wasserman of Northeast Ohio Media Group. "Just get the ball and go."
Moments later, Samuel broke through the line and darted past the defense for a 50-yard touchdown.
It was that playmaking ability that caught Meyer's attention during spring practice. Over the summer, Samuel earned the respect of upperclassmen on the team with his work ethic and maturity.
Speaking at Big Ten media days, star defensive tackle Michael Bennett raved about the young ball-carrier.
"Curtis Samuel has a lot of maturity for his age," Bennett said, according to Northeast Ohio Media Group's Doug Lesmerises. "He likes to work and he's gotten a lot better and a lot bigger. I remember he's got a different mentality that you don't see freshmen usually have."
On the set of ESPN's Mike & Mike show a few days later, Meyer revealed his excitement for the freshman running back.
"This guy named Curtis Samuel, a kid out of Brooklyn, New York, a true freshman who came in the spring. He really stole my heart," Meyer said. "He does everything right. He's a gifted athlete, kind of a freak athlete.
"This kid's a stud."
That assessment was just as true last year, when Samuel was rated a 4-star all-purpose back and the No. 59 overall recruit in the country. He had earned offers from programs such as Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame and USC, but the opportunity to play in Meyer's spread offense was too good to pass up.
Samuel's hype train started crawling this spring, but as the 2014 season nears, it's gaining speed. And unlike some freshmen before him, Samuel is in great position to live up to the preseason hype.
That's because the Buckeyes have an actual need for his services.
Dontre Wilson generated more preseason excitement last year than any freshman since Terrelle Pryor, but with Corey Brown at receiver and Carlos Hyde in the backfield, his opportunities were limited.
Both Brown and Hyde have graduated, creating a big need for playmakers. Wilson is in line to replace Brown in the slot, and Ezekiel Elliott is the front-runner to fill in for Hyde, but Samuel has surged past a number of talented players in a deep stable of running backs.
By the end of spring practice, Samuel was slotted as the No. 2 back behind Elliott, according to Kyle Rowland of Eleven Warriors.
"We have some depth there, but right now 15 (Elliott) and 4 (Samuel) are the two," Meyer said.
That momentum carried over throughout the summer and into the first week of fall camp.
As part of the Big Ten Network's football tour, Tom Dienhart was in Columbus on Wednesday to catch a firsthand glimpse of the Buckeyes. He was impressed with the blazer.
"The guy is pure, unadulterated speed at running back."
But it's not just his speed that's standing out.
According to Lesmerises, Bennett told a story highlighting Samuel's toughness. During spring practice, Samuel got his bell rung by senior defensive end Steve Miller on a simple inside run. The very next play, Samuel came right back and "just knocked someone else out cold."
It's rare for a freshman to have that kind of attitude, but Samuel is a speedy playmaker who is showing the ability to lower his shoulder and deliver a blow with the big boys.
In a video of Wednesday's practice, Samuel put that on display during Meyer's famed circle drill. Two players enter the center of a mob created by the football team, and after the whistle is blown, they go at it. The stronger man wins.
When it was Samuel's turn, he won (at the 16-second mark).
Since arriving in Columbus in January, Samuel has done everything right.
"That's why I enrolled early," Samuel said, via Lesmerises. "I wanted to get a head start so I was more ready to be a contributor in the fall."
If he stays on the same track, he'll have a big impact on the field this season.

6 Most Valuable Backups in 2014 College Football Season
In the 85-scholarship era of college football, depth is as important as ever.
Gone are the days when the likes of Bear Bryant, Barry Switzer or Darrell Royal could stockpile talented players, stacking every key position at the depth chart if only to keep players away from their closest competitors.
The Football Bowl Subdivision's 85-scholarship limit has evened the field in college football, allowing the likes of Boise State, Central Florida and Utah to win Bowl Championship Series games while competing in non-power leagues like the American Athletic Conference or Mountain West.
Finding players who can step in and duplicate a starter's production when injuries inevitably happen is not easy, which makes having depth and solid backups so important.
Here is a look at a select group of players across college football who have emerged as the most talented backups. These men are capable of stepping in and making an impact should a starter be sidelined, or even if he stays healthy the entire season.
Tennessee Volunteers Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
Bolstered by all 32 newcomers and eager to return the program to prominence, the Tennessee Volunteers took the practice field to get ready for the season opener against Utah State.
Finally, football is here.
A week into drills, things have gone about as expected as coach Butch Jones has walked the thin line between encouragement and outrage.
The positive vibes come from the newcomers, but for somebody as admittedly impatient as Jones, the surliness emerges when the Vols take too long catching on to fundamentals.
With Chuckie Keeton and the Aggies looming just 23 days away, there's no time to waste.
Jones banned his players from the privilege of speaking to the media Monday, and they responded with a strong practice in pads Tuesday. The tough-love approach is necessary to getting away from the losing mentality that has taken root in Knoxville.
GoVols247's Ryan Callahan (subscription required) talked to Jones about the tests of the first week:
They're being challenged—not only on the field, but, again, this being the final week of classes, so they have papers due. They have final examinations coming up. So I think it's just a combination of a lot of things, but I was very pleased in the way they fought through it today. But (it's) not fighting through it. It's more in how you attack the day, and I thought that they attacked the day exceptionally well.
August is going to be full of bumps in the road for such a young, inexperienced team. But absorbing the frustrating news with the positive is going to be something Vols fans need to get used to.
After all, as many as 20-22 youngsters could suit up for UT, and in the SEC pressure cooker, things are going to heat up quickly. Let's take a look at the buzz surrounding the first week of practice.
A Shaky Start for Signal-Callers
No Tennessee quarterback has separated himself from the others yet. While that's hardly unexpected a week into fall camp, it's definitely a concern.
A familiar theme echoed throughout the complex—the players who are supposed to be the offensive leaders are far too inconsistent.
Timing isn't where it needs to be, passes aren't on-point and the Vols must elevate the level of play as soon as possible.
The Daily Times' Dargan Southard noted UT had 62 balls hit the ground in the first practice, a number that shrank to 45 in the second practice. Offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian said he would like to see that number "in the 20s."
"I need much more consistency at the quarterback position right now," Bajakian said.
Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman have gotten a lot of action, but it would be a major surprise if anybody beat Justin Worley for the starting job.
The media only get to watch a small portion of practice, and at least one practice observer—former UT receiver and Knoxville radio personality Jayson Swain—has been extremely impressed by the transformation of Worley from a season ago.
Still, Jones told Volquest.com's Brent Hubbs (subscription required) UT's signal-callers must make "monumental strides."
The Vols need for somebody to leave no doubt he's the starter. The longer the competition goes, the concern grows about the trio's inability to seize control of the job.
Youngsters Look Like Young Stars
As Jones allowed several of his prized freshmen to speak to the media—something uncommon from the past several seasons on Rocky Top—one thing became clear: Several of these kids are wise beyond their years.
The Vols just hope they play beyond them.
"It's gonna be a slow process," UT freshman safety Todd Kelly Jr. told GoVols247's Wes Rucker. "It's a learning process. We just got here. We've only been here for about a month and a half. Ultimately we just want to make this program [a] better place."
Kelly looks like he's going to be one of the players who will get that opportunity quickly. Rucker noted T.K. is now running with the second-team defense at one of the safety spots.
With former walk-on Devaun Swafford the only player blocking his path to starting, that could happen sooner rather than later.
Freshman running back Jalen Hurd also has been impressive, and he was made available for interviews this week as well. That is yet another clear indication of how much the Vols will be depending on him right away.
The 6'3", 221-pound freshman hasn't overtaken Marlin Lane for the starting spot, but he is firmly entrenched as the backup and will get plenty of carries.
At that height, it's common for detractors to question whether Hurd can get low enough to be effective. But the Hendersonville, Tennessee, native who idolizes Eddie George urged his doubters to come see him answer their concerns.
Hurd was electrifying during spring practice, and he has picked up right where he left off when fall drills started. JC Shurburtt of 247Sports has Hurd on his SEC true freshman All-American watch list.
Freshmen such as Ethan Wolf, Josh Malone and Dimarya Mixon, who arrived before spring practice, are continuing their strong surges toward the top of the depth chart.
Various reports have mentioned positive vibes from other freshmen summer arrivals. Slot receiver Vic Wharton, defensive linemen Dewayne Hendrix and Derek Barnett as well as outside linebacker Dillon Bates all have drawn significant praise.
According to Rucker defensive line coach Steve Stripling said this about Hendrix and Barnett:
"I think Barnett and Hendrix have jumped out, and they're showing that I think they're mature enough and physical enough at this point to where we'll see where they can end up on the depth chart."
The Vols are going to need them all, and even though they haven't been at UT long, the opportunity is there to play immediately. With no jobs safe, those kids are taking advantage.
Smith Surging and Updates on Other Position Battles
Like most true freshmen, receiver Josh Smith had no business playing a year ago. He finished a forgettable season with 12 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown, but he also had crucial drops at key times.
That's why he said he didn't really deserve to get on the field at all last year, especially after a knee injury hobbled him throughout the second half of the season.
This fall, the 6'1", 197-pound sophomore Knoxville native is making the most of a new year. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press' Patrick Brown, Smith has been starting in UT's base three-wide receiver sets along with Marquez North and Von Pearson.
In other words, in a crowded, talented Vols receiving corps, he is starting over stud freshman Josh Malone and redshirt sophomore Jason Croom. He has been extremely impressive so far.
As for other position battles:
- Pearson is getting all the first-team reps in the slot, in front of last year's starter, Alton "Pig" Howard, Johnathon Johnson and Wharton. Pearson hasn't minced words when talking to the media about UT's receivers, either.
- Swafford earned a scholarship this offseason, and thus far, he is the other starting safety alongside Brian Randolph, taking the place of incumbent LaDarrell McNeil. But Kelly is breathing down his neck.
- According to Volquest.com writer Paul Fortenberry's depth chart, Danny O'Brien and Jordan Williams are getting the first-team reps at defensive tackle. Trevarris Saulsberry missed the spring, but he will be a major factor once he gets in shape.
- The Knoxville News-Sentinel's Ben Frederickson (subscription required) reported that fifth-year senior and former walk-on Jacob Gilliam is still leading Dontavius Blair in the battle to be UT's starting left tackle. Blair has gotten in shape and looks much better than he did in the spring, however.
- Fortenberry's depth chart also notes freshman Emmanuel Moseley firmly entrenched as the No. 2 cornerback, and Justin Coleman is the nickel.
- If any freshmen are going to crack the starting rotation on the defensive line, it'll likely be Hendrix or Barnett. They've drawn huge praise from coaches so far, and Jones told Brown on Thursday that Barnett "has elevated the defensive line play."
Roundup From Rocky Top (News & Notes)
Tennessee received a major commitment over last weekend when 2016 4-star quarterback Austin Kendall of Waxhaw, N.C., pledged to the Vols. He is the nation's No. 9 pro-style passer in next year's cycle, according to the 247 Composite.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press' Brown, UT receiver Cody Blanc ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the season. Blanc was not a factor for significant playing time.
Freshman lineman Jashon Robertson has shifted from the defensive line to offensive line, where he is practicing as a guard, according to a report from GoVols247's Ryan Callahan.
The Daily Beacon reported junior defensive tackle Allan Carson has graduated and "decided to move on," according to UT spokesman Jimmy Stanton. Carson has never played very much at UT and didn't figure into the rotation.

Georgia Bulldogs Football: Week 1 Fall Camp Stock Report
Breakout newcomers, physical practices and injuries dominated headlines this week as the Georgia Bulldogs opened up fall camp. If you missed any of the flurry of activities, here is what you need to know to get up to speed.
New Bulldogs Making Impressions
A number of new Bulldogs are already making impressions. Shattle Fenteng (a cornerback JUCO transfer) has acquitted himself nicely (when healthy and fully participating) and already is climbing the depth chart. Fellow defensive back J.J. Green told Seth Emerson of Macon's Telegraph that Fenteng's length presents a unique challenge for receivers. Georgia certainly could use a viable cornerback opposite senior Damian Swann.
Meanwhile, one of the less-heralded newcomers on campus, Isaiah McKenzie, is establishing himself as one of the team's smaller (in stature) stars at just 5'8". Green (who's quickly becoming one of Georgia's best sound bite generators) told Chip Towers of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "That guy's gonna make somebody some money someday."
And of course Lorenzo Carter (the Dawgs' top commitment in this year's class per 247Sports) is also holding his own. Carter, who was highly coveted coming out of high school thanks to his size, strength and athleticism is looking every bit the future star that many have anticipated. While the Dawgs may be blessed with a plethora of talented pass-rushers, Carter will be too good to ignore.
And, his aggressive disposition has already been noticed—in more ways than one. According to Emerson (for the the Ledger-Enquirer), Carter participated in a little extracurricular jostling with offensive tackle John Theus this week. Linebacker Jordan Jenkins explained that the situation didn't get too out of hand, but he said he wouldn't be surprised to see Carter "get into it with somebody again real soon."
Physical Practices
Those types of altercations are a byproduct of the intensity with which Georgia is practicing.
Earlier this week, freshman running back Nick Chubb became a viral celebrity after toppling fullback Merritt Hall during a blocking drill.
But as this footage (captured by Emerson) shows, it's not just the newcomers who are going hard this fall.
Injuries Piling Up...Again
The heightened intensity of fall camp is already taking a physical toll on Georgia's roster. Mark Richt is no longer offering full injury reports to the media (per Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald), but a number of Bulldogs have missed time or been limited in participation so far this fall:
- Malcolm Mitchell, Wide Receiver
- Chris Conley, Wide Receiver
- Justin Scott-Wesley, Wide Receiver
- Ramik Wilson, Linebacker
- Leonard Floyd, Linebacker
- Shattle Fenteng, Cornerback
- Jay Rome, Tight End
- Jordan Davis, Tight End
- Ryne Rankin, Linebacker
Week 2 Storylines
Georgia will get its first scrimmage out of the way this week, and that could present big opportunities for players to climb the depth chart—especially with so many banged-up starters. Look for strong performances from proven playmakers like Reggie Davis and Quayvon Hicks on the offensive side of the ball as they seek to work up a crowded list of offensive options. On defense, expect sophomore Reggie Carter to continue asserting himself as a viable substitute for either Ramik Wilson or Amarlo Herrera at the inside linebacker spot.
After the scrimmage, expect new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt's defense to look different as far as personnel is concerned. Pruitt has placed an emphasis on getting opportunities for players and ensuring that the best 11 men are on the field. Pruitt will find ways—even through position changes—to showcase his most talented players. He's already been doing this frequently within the secondary, moving cornerbacks to safety and vice versa. But, time is running out for such impactful position changes. Moves will need to be made sooner rather than later.
Hopefully this is a week of mending for some of Georgia's best players. Outside of the injury to Mitchell and the prolonged recovery of Scott-Wesley, no ailments appear likely to sideline Georgia stars for long. But the team needs players like Rome, Floyd, Wilson and Conley at full speed in order to take strides forward.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes obtained firsthand.

Time-lapse video: A Berkeley school gets new classrooms
Over the summer, Washington Elementary School in Berkeley got a new set of portable classrooms. The new classrooms replaced a group of portables which dated back to the 1960s, even though they were installed originally as a temporary measure. The new ones come from Berkeley High School. They were removed from there in order to complete the high school's $46 million new construction project.
The decision to replace very old portables with seven less-old portables on Washington's annex campus on McKinley St., across from the school's main campus, was not popular with many Washington parents who say an underlying problem not being addressed by the district is overcrowding at the elementary school. … Continue reading »
Students target sexual harassment at Berkeley High School
Earlier this year, some male students at Berkeley High School created "slut accounts" on Instagram. The accounts included photos of female students with misogynistic, sexual captions. A number of the instigators were suspended as a result. However, a group of students who have launched an anti-sexual harassment campaign on campus say the punishment doesn't help curb the culture that set the stage for the incident in the first place.
Similarly, the student campaigners, mostly juniors and seniors, say the policy and preventive actions finally being taken in the wake of sexual assaults on college campuses nationwide are happening too late in students' lives.
The group has launched "BHS Stop Harassing" with a goal to educate its peers about inappropriate behavior and where they can seek help — and to eventually improve what it perceives to be the vastly inadequate sexual harassment policy and preventive education at Berkeley High. … Continue reading »
Berkeley School Board primer: Soda tax panel, new personnel commissioner, recess restriction
The Berkeley schools Board of Education meets tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 19) for a closed session at 6 p.m., followed by its regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. Follow along via the Nov. 19 agenda packet.
The board will vote on a recess restriction policy, appoint a new member of the BUSD Personnel Commission, and nominate candidates for the city's new advisory panel on spending the Measure D "soda tax."
Closed session
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. with a closed session to discuss anticipated litigation, a settlement agreement with an employee, collective bargaining and a student expulsion. Also, the board will meet with a Berkeley police representative and the Dean of Discipline at Berkeley High School to talk about campus security. Public comment, up to 15 minutes, will be taken prior to the closed session. … Continue reading »
Op-ed: Recess restriction is discriminatory and counterproductive
This Wednesday, the Berkeley Unified School Board will vote on a policy that would allow teachers to restrict students' access to recess. As a parent of a child at Willard, I oppose the recess restriction policy as discriminatory and counterproductive.
K-5 students have two short recess periods, fifteen minutes in the morning and twenty minutes after lunch. Middle-school students have a combined lunch-recess period of 30 minutes. The policy would allow teachers to take away up to ten minutes of … Continue reading »
Op-ed: Sexual harassment at Berkeley High must stop

The students of #BHSstopharassing are planning an educational "teach-in" event for later this month to build community awareness about sexual harassment at Berkeley High School and about students' rights under … Continue reading »
School board reviews recess restriction as punishment
Two years ago, Berkeley parent Sinead O'Sullivan got tired of hearing from her kindergartener that he was missing recess for misbehaving. She knew he wasn't a saint, but she didn't think taking exercise away was going to improve his behavior.
"It's not effective," O'Sullivan said. " The kids who get (recess taken away) are the high-energy kids, who can't control their bodies. It's the last punishment they need."
"Many kids who get recess taken away have behavioral challenges. I say, deal with a behavior problem the way you deal with a reading problem," she continued. O'Sullivan complained to the school, which then tried other solutions to help her son manage his behavior, she said. But the next year, he was losing recess again.
O'Sullivan did her homework. She found the following in California's educational code: "The governing board of a school district may adopt reasonable rules and regulations to authorize a teacher to restrict for disciplinary purposes the time a pupil under his or her supervision is allowed for recess." … Continue reading »
School Board considers options for tackling student surge
With an extra 250 students projected to crowd into Berkeley schools in the coming three years, the school board considered a long list of options for creating space at its Nov. 5 meeting. The board will narrow down the choices at its Dec. 10 meeting, and decide on a plan of action in January.
After hearing a report on the options to add up to 12 classrooms, board members asked staff to more fully explore three possibilities:
- Moving transitional kindergartens out of the elementary schools to a pre-school site;
- Converting some, but not all, of the 12 "enrichment classrooms" around the district to regular classrooms. Enrichment classrooms are those used for art, dance, theater, science or other purposes.
- Moving Berkeley Technology Academy and Independent Study to the Adult Education School on San Pablo Avenue, and using the BTA site on Martin Luther King Jr. Way near Derby as an elementary school.
"There's no solution that has no downside," said board president Josh Daniels after the presentation. … Continue reading »
Berkeley elections: Kriss Worthington retains District 7; nail-biting race continues in District 8
Election day may be nearly a week behind us, but votes are still being counted and the results of some Berkeley races are still being determined, including District 8 where Lori Droste is currently very narrowly ahead for that council seat.
Absentee ballots are still being processed and will likely continue through the week. The latest counts are posted to the Alameda County registrar of voters website around 5 p.m. daily. Under state law, Alameda County has until Dec. 2 to certify its election results.
Berkeleyside is keeping results updated daily on our main Election 2014 results post, and will continue do so so until all races have officially ended.
In District 7, incumbent Kriss Worthington has kept his seat on the council after Sean Barry, who was the only candidate running against him, conceded the race.
"I'd like to congratulate Kriss Worthington and thank my supporters. The outcome is clear even if the final tally is not," Barry said today. … Continue reading »
BUSD superintendent: 'We have much more work to do'
In response to unruly behavior on the Berkeley High campus Oct. 24, and the current absence of top leadership at the school, Berkeley Unified School District Superintendent Donald Evans has asked the school's former principal to take a more active role in the day-to-day running of the school, and has committed to having a new principal in place by July 1, 2015.
In an email sent to the Berkeley High community Tuesday, Evans said the problems that occurred on Rally Day at Berkeley High demonstrated that the district had "much more work to do."
A Berkeley High staffer was sent to the hospital with a head injury sustained during what the school described as a mob scene involving an estimated 500 mostly junior and senior students "participating in hazing and bullying behavior," chanting and throwing objects, including glass bottles after school let out on Friday Oct. 24. While trying to break up the mob, two additional staff members were hit. Fifteen students were found to be intoxicated and were suspended. … Continue reading »
Challenger Ty Alper gets seat on Berkeley School Board; third seat too close to call
Ty Alper, a challenger, has won a seat on the Berkeley School Board with the most votes – so far — in a close race, while incumbent Josh Daniels received the second-to-most votes.
The race for the third board seat, between incumbents Karen Hemphill and Julie Sinai is so close — about a half of a percent — that it is too close to call, according to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters office. Vote-by-mail ballots dropped off at the polls on Election Day are still uncounted.
More information may be available by Thursday evening, but the registrar has 28 days to tally the results.
See Berkeleyside's live election night blog for the latest vote tallies.
Alper was reached while cleaning his house today.
"Campaign HQ was my living room, and I had promised the family I would put it back to normal," Alper said. "I'm sure we'll celebrate, but I want to wait to see how these last votes come in before really celebrating." … Continue reading »

Op-ed: Cal should take down beer and athletics billboard
Has anyone been in the Alta Bates ER on a UC Berkeley football game night? I have, and it is an eye-opening experience of drunkenness and bloody injuries.
I was astonished this week as I headed home from work to see a billboard next to the freeway in Emeryville advertising beer with the Cal Athletics logo. I had noticed a similar billboard a year ago and wrote to the newly appointed Chancellor expressing my concerns. I received a prompt reply … Continue reading »

Op-ed: Berkeley teachers support Measure D
On behalf of all Berkeley teachers, I ask you to vote yes on Measure D for the health of our children.
Ask any teacher in Berkeley and they will tell you that there is a strong connection between physical health and academics. Indeed, research has shown that when students are healthy, they are much more likely to attend school and be ready to learn; and when students are not healthy, their academics suffer. According to the California School Board's Association:

This is perhaps Hazaribaghs pre-eminent megalith site: a calendrical archae-astronomical observatory that is the axis of a plethora of major megalith sites throughout the Hazaribagh plateau. It is located in the middle of the valley, 6 kilometres before the little town of Barkagaon. The megaliths stand on a circular sloping mound whose surface is strewn with flake tools and microliths. A kilometre to the east, in the opposite direction, are the remains of a Buddhist sanctuary with marvellous sculpted stone monuments. Barwadi Punkhri site is in the middle of a series of concentric circles having a major megalithic cluster on the rim. These sites in turn are aligned through other sacred sites to a number of more distant sacred sites. Barwadi Punkhri lies in the middle of the proposed Barkagaon Mine Block, which will destroy the entire area over twenty square kilometres.Answered by Psycho, 26 Mar '13 12:08 pm

Halloween is my favorite fall activity and so this time of year, my Pinterest board is a smorgasbord of Halloween decor, treats, foods, party ideas, costumes, and more! We aim to be healthy parents so I try to keep the candy-eating to a minimum around the holidays (mostly because I end up eating it all!). Well fear not, my friends, as there are plenty of healthy alternative treats that our kids can still enjoy this month!
We are so used to buying an enormous bag of candy every October, dumping it in a big black cauldron, then crossing our fingers that we use it all up on the Trick-or-Treaters. Sometimes, it's hard to remind ourselves that we could fill the cauldron with non-candy items! I know, I know – you're thinking "She's crazy! The kids will hate it!" However, I speak from experience when I say that I've had many kids choose the non-candy items over the candy, even to be excited to find a Halloween pencil in the bowl! (And yes, I still buy some candy to mix in the bowl – old habits are hard to break!)
There are a few reasons to choose non-candy items for your trick-or-treaters this year:
- The best reason is of course, for their health; their dentist & parents will thank you!
- We all know they will still end up with a ton of candy from other houses so why not mix it up a bit and give them a temporary tattoo instead?
- Finally, because this is a great way to help children with allergies to find a treat they can enjoy.
If you are participating in offering alternative goodies for children with food allergies, be sure to check out the Teal Pumpkin Project. This is a new campaign to spread awareness of food allergies and help parents & children find houses offering goodies they can enjoy this Halloween.
Here are a few non-candy suggestions to get you started:
- Beads & string
- Mini pumpkins
- Stickers
- Erasers
- Temporary tattoos
- Glow in the dark sticky eyes
- Playdough
- Glow in the dark bracelets
- Spooky crayons
- Slime
- Halloween bubbles
You can see a ton more non-candy ideas at The Kennedy Adventures, 100 Days of Real Food, and Apartment Therapy. There are some really cute make-ahead ideas at Lil Luna that you can prepare with your children.
When your child does come home with enough candy to last until next Halloween, what do you do? We encourage the Switch Witch to visit our home on Halloween night by leaving out our extra candy on the kitchen table. Similar to the Tooth Fairy, she is invited to come in the night to make an exchange in your child's favor. The Switch Witch loves candy so much, that she is willing to give children books, toys, or other non-candy treats in exchange for their delicious, sugar-filled candy! Be sure to talk to your children about the Switch Witch in advance so that they will be excited about trading in their candy.
You can also check out Halloween Candy Buyback to find dentists in your area that will trade your children candy for prizes. The dentists send the candy to troops overseas. If you don't have a dentist in your area participating in this program, send them the link to the Halloween Candy Buyback but also check out the instructions on sending your own candy to the troops through Operation Gratitude.
Many grocery stores will have healthier food treats readily available in "trick-or-treat" size bags. You can also package your own healthy treats in small baggies or plastic cups. Here's a few of the healthy food treats you may want to hand out this year:
- Pretzels
- Fruit snacks
- Crackers
- Applesauce
- Pumpkin seeds
- Popcorn
- Raisins
- Trail mix
If you are planning a Halloween party or bringing snacks to school for a class party, consider making some of these fun & clever Halloween snacks!
- Candy Corn Popsicles
- Goblin Grins
- Banana Ghosts and Tangerine Pumpkins
- Cheese monsters
- Witch's Broom Cheesesticks
- Spider Fruit Kabobs
Find many more creepy, spooky, yet deliciously healthy party snacks at Listotic, Buzzfeed, & C.R.A.F.T.
What is your favorite healthy Halloween treat alternative? What are your children's favorite items to receive when they go trick-or-treating? Share them with us in the comments!

With its charming wooden bins and old-fashioned ambience, Rocky Mountain Seed Co. offers a shopping experience as hardy and no-nonsense as the merchandise. For fifty years, they've been offering time-proven seeds geared to Colorado's climate. And while the lonely, downtown establishment now sticks out among high-rises, lofts and chic clubs, the area was once Denver's agriculture row, where farmers from the plains came to stock up on seed, feed, supplies and equipment. So come on down and set awhile in the vestiges of a bygone era; the prices are low, and the seed is good.

Football rally falls short against Bucknell
For a while, it looked like Saturday night's football game between Marist and Bucknell would not be played. Severe thunderstorms struck Tenney Stadium around 5:15 p.m., threatening the home opener for the Red Foxes.
The home team ran onto the field two hours later, to the cheers of the many fans that had waited to see their players defend their home turf.
Unfortunately for the Marist faithful, they will have to wait a little longer for a home victory.
Despite some late game heroics by Chuckie Looney and the offense, the Red Foxes dropped their first home game of the 2012 season to the visiting Bison, 19-17.
"For our group of kids and for the coaching staff, I know that this [loss] is very frustrating because we really feel like we should have come out of here with a win," head coach Jim Parady said.
After only allowing 292 yards the previous week to Bryant, the Marist defense had difficulty stopping the offense of Bucknell. The Bison had 332 total yards and never trailed in the game. In addition, the visitors outmatched Marist in time of possession, 32:49 to 27:11.
Coach Parady believed that the biggest problem for the defense on Saturday was something that can easily be fixed: tackling.
"On the defensive side of the ball, tackling [was a big issue]," Parady said. "The quarterback [Wesley] broke some tackles on us, so that is something that we will have to work on."
The Marist offense put up impressive numbers, totaling 366 yards in the loss. But issues in protection and inconsistent play from the team's skill players hindered the unit's ability to perform to their highest level, according to Parady.
"We had some protection issues on the offensive side of the football, where we identified what we were supposed to do, but a few times, it was just a little bit later than we needed to do. Along with that, there were some mental mistakes by our skill kids," Parady explained.
Despite problems throughout the game, the offense did manage to pull themselves together late in the fourth quarter, setting the stage for what appeared to be an improbable comeback.
With 2:26 left to play and no timeouts left, the Red Foxes took over at their own 20-yard line, down by ten points. Looney then orchestrated a 10 play, 80-yard drive using both his arm and his legs to keep the late-game rally going for his team. In under two minutes, Looney led his team all the way down the field, concluding the drive with a beautifully thrown pass to wide receiver Matt Tralli in the back of the endzone, making the score 19-17, Bucknell, with 31 seconds remaining. Marist attempted the onside kick on the ensuing kickoff, but Bucknell would recover the ball, which bounced several times, to secure the victory.
Even though the scoreboard did not say what he and the rest of the team would have liked for it to say at the end of the game, Coach Parady was impressed with his team's focus and poise leading up to, and during, that final sequence of events.
"After [the offense] could not convert on fourth down [the previous possession], the defense comes out and gets them off the field, three and out. That was huge. Now, the offense takes over, and takes the ball down the field, and gives us an opportunity to win that football game," Parady said of the Tralli touchdown. "I think a lot of other teams, when they don't covert that fourth down, the defense would have let down, and the game would have been all over. But we still put ourselves in a position to win the game. I was very happy with the fight in the team that point."
Looney, who finished the game 25-39, for 309 yards and two touchdowns, shared the similar opinion as his coach. When he gathered his teammates in the huddle for that final drive, he told them to do one thing: believe.
"The series before that we came out and gut shut down on fourth down and the game could have been over right then," Looney said. "We could have just hung our heads but we kept fighting the whole game and we showed a lot of heart at the end. We just had to leave everything we had out on the field and we did so."
In preparation for this week, Looney explained that the team must learn from this loss and build off of the momentum they gained late in the game against Bucknell.
"We hadn't faced adversity yet as a team and we responded well. We just have to put Bucknell behind us, clean up our minor mistakes, and get better every day," Looney said.
Marist's next game will be against Ivy League for Columbia. The game will be played on the road, and kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
