We have to make it as game-like as possible for him and he has to approach it like a game in order for him to improve. But the real improvement is gonna come in the game. Because the talent is there, you do see it.” Mora continued: “But we have to eliminate the throws that are down in the dirt or the throws that are behind a guy when they’re wide open, and that’s just gonna come through experience and building confidence and building chemistry with those receivers… So I just come back to reps, reps, reps… getting reps, getting competitive reps in a game. It stunted his progress when he got hurt at Maryland, couldn’t finish out that game and didn’t get a chance to get the work versus Merrimack, when we had some success on offense. That could’ve been a real confidence builder. Now, I don’t think his confidence is lacking at all. I just think there’s some uncertainty at times because he hasn’t had enough repetition.” <- [/QUOTE]
