Welcome to Sunday (not so) fun day here in Cougar Athletics land.
We’ll start with a little on-field news, where believe it or not, the 2023 Cougars are actually taking shape! Given the off-field news of the week, it’s easy to overlook that. The Cougs held their fourth training camp practice on Saturday, and the defense seemed to improve its performance. Beat reporter Greg Woods went so far as to say that this was the Cougar defense’s best practice of camp.
Woods concentrates on the line, where a pretty glaring dichotomy exists. The ends seem to be the strongest and deepest part of the defense, as stalwarts like Brannan Jackson and Ron Stone man the starting spots, and backups Quinn Roff and Andrew Edson can spell them without losing much effectiveness.
