Let's pass on some additional notes to build on P's extensive roundup from yesterday scrimmage this am. I will start with couple of tweets from UCLA Athletics. P already mentioned insomniac and Tyler's appearance at Drake yesterday evening. That of course is worth high lighting again. Here is the tweet from UCLA giving a shout out to one of most beloved member of BN family:
Football. Good to see young Tyler Cordova and his dad Derek on the sidelines during today's scrimmage at Drake Stadium. #UCLA
There also a cool tweet amplifying a thank you note from Dietrich Riley.
We all thank everyone for their attendance. RT @DietrichRiley1: Thanks to everyone who showed up tonight! #UCLA Football is on the rise!!
Folks who showed up at practice yesterday are the kind of fans who will get to enjoy the ride most if the Bruin football program make a move this season.
By all accounts it appeared to be somewhat of a vanilla and bland scrimmage yesterday at Drake. That was all by design. The coaching staff wanted to make sure our frontline players got in just enough reps but did not want to leave them out too long to risk any kind of injury, given our previous history (see Dantone Jones and Kai Maiava).
Players didn't mind the conservative "don't show and tell" approach at all:
Jones said he didn't mind. The defense has been applying a great deal of pressure with blitzes from all over the field during practices, but mostly played a plain vanilla style on Saturday because in the era of YouTube and Facebook and Twitter, it's best not to get too deep into the playbook.
"At an open scrimmage you can't really pull out everything you have," Jones said.
