Hours before Florida Atlantic held its 10th spring practice of the year Tuesday morning, receiver Bobby Mitchell and quarterback De’Andre Johnson were engaged in a late-night film session.

The pair is still learning each other’s tendencies, so they flipped on footage from Saturday’s scrimmage and film from Baylor, where offensive coordinator Kendal Briles came from. They noted how a cornerback set up against Mitchell, and what release he managed. They discussed what coverage they saw, and what route followed.

“So he knows what I think when I line up pre-snap, and I learn what he’s going to do,” Mitchell said.
