NEWARK, Del. – Under near-perfect conditions and in front of a large Junior Day crowd, the University of Delaware football team had another productive practice across all three phases, spending some time on individual position work while also mixing in a fair amount of live scrimmage.
With temperatures reaching the mid-70s, the Blue Hens spent the entire two-hour practice outdoors. Things got started with a bang as the team broke stretch and went right into an 11-on-11 red zone drill, challenging both sides of the ball right out of the gate.
After each position spent time working on techniques and fundamentals, the majority of practice was spent mixing in live scrimmage periods of 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 situations, as well as special teams work on punt and kickoff coverage.
What They're Saying
"It was great to get out and scrimmage a bit today. We got a chance to see how our guys performed in a more game-like scenario. Some plays were made on both sides of the ball. The energy was fantastic. Our leaders have been tremendous at bringing the juice each day. We need that to continue throughout spring." – Head Coach Ryan Carty
"Practice today had a great combination of competition and execution. Two aspects that we have been focusing on a lot so far this spring. As an offense, we practiced with a fast tempo and got the job done. We are lucky to have a great defense to go against every day that challenges us and makes us better. The nice weather made for a fun environment out there and kept our energy where it needed to be." – Fifth-year wide receiver Eddie Scannapieco
