Akron Zips Training Camp (Day 5): First day in full gear
Akron Zips football training camp (Day 5)
Bowden’s take: “Although we're not scrimmaging until Saturday, we got a feel for full contact. It was good to see the kids get a little altercation and playing with a little emotion and I don't mind it early while they have all that energy still. It was a good day. Nobody got hurt; we got a lot of work done.”
Some observations:
Offensively
*Running back transfer Warren Ball looks the part and at least on the first day in full pads, played the part of starter. He excelled in 7-on-7 drills where he played against a defensive line. In full squad drills he not only showed some strength, but escapability turning what could have.
