Team is back out on the Pettus practice field — stretching, at the moment.

I'm in the air-conditioned pressbox. I win.

Team is doing the stretching drill in which players are paired up, run toward each other and one lifts the other over his head, getting extension in his arms and driving through the lift with his legs and hips. Just because he can, DE Taylor Thompson lifted DB Ryan Smith over his head ... and then pressed him above his head several times.

WRs working on JUGS machine — sometimes facing oncoming passes, sometimes turning to one side or the other.

LB Youri Yenga just joined in. Looks pretty comfortable catching the ball.

I wish we had more than just one jugs machine like most D1 schools.

Chris Parham and Torlan Pittman are now catching passes off the JUGS machine — not sure why — but catching pretty well.
