Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4715753, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1687951978821730304[/MEDIA] -> Players weren’t always tackled to the ground, but the guys in the trenches and skill players were definitely taking active reps against each other at full speed. Head coach Jim Mora told his staff they had over 200 “gradable” snaps to evaluate, according to assistant defensive line coach Kenny McClendon. “It felt good to finally put a little pad on somebody,” defensive end Eric Watts said. “It’s nice to actually be able to play football again.” The quarterback competition continues in Storrs, as it appears Mora was true to his word that three players are in serious contention for the starting duties. Joseph Fagnano, Zion Turner, and Ta’Quan Roberson all got reps with first and second units and all made plays that demonstrated what they uniquely bring to the table. Roberson probably has the inside track for the job but Fagnano and Turner are both capable. <- -> Cale Millen, who switched positions from QB to safety in the spring, took some snaps with reserve units at QB. This may be because Brayden Zermeno left the team, or because he has some “wildcat” style plays in the playbook for certain situations this season. <- [/QUOTE]
