PRACTICE NUGGETS -- DAY 10 -- 8/13/18
- Today marked the 10th practice of fall camp under head coach Jonathan Smith and it was the first day that the Beavers started to narrow down 1st and 2nd team units. While nothing is set in stone, we’re starting to see who’s going to be starting and who’s going to be first off the bench.
- Jake Luton was the quarterback to take reps with the first team today, and he had one of his best days of fall camp. He looked extremely confident in his throws today and connected with Isaiah Hodgins on a couple of occasions for touchdowns. The first was a 70 yard score as Hodgins broke free on an out-route and stiff armed Shemar Smith around the 25 yard line, maintained his balance and scored. The second was in the red zone as Hodgins was in a perfect position to catch Luton’s fade.
- Another note on Luton and Hodgins: They’re growing chemistry fast. Post-practice today, Luton and Hodgins were working on their timing well after practice concluded. Near the end of their extra work, Hodgins didn’t get a great jump on the ball and Luton overthrew him a touch and the ball just missed his fingertips. Hodgins immediately looked back at Luton and the two exchanged a smile before saying “One more.” A lot to like about this duo as they seem to be growing a stronger rapport day by day.
- OSU’s first team offensive line is holding steady with Blake Brandel at LT, Gus Lavaka at LG, Sumner Houston at C, Yanni Demogerontas at RG, and Trent Moore at RT. This group has been pretty consistent with the first team for about a week or so and it’s a pretty safe bet this is how OSU will look up front against Ohio State barring something drastic changing.
- Jermar Jefferson is continuing his assault on the OSU defense as today with the 1st team. Jefferson ripped off a 70-yard stretch run where he was able to outrun the defense for the first 55-60 yards before having to fight off tacklers to reach the endzone. Jefferson is growing day by day and offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren noted post-practice that he’s been extremely impressed with Jefferson’s development and hence why we’re seeing him take reps with the 1’s.
- Here’s what the first team defense looked like today: Kalani Vakameilalo, Isaac Hodgins, and Miki Fifita up front with Shemar Smith and Jonathan Willis in the middle and Hamilcar Rashed, Andrzej Hughes-Murray/Kee Whetzel on the outside. Justin Gardner, Shawn Wilson, Jalen Moore, and Trajon Cotton in the back end. While this was the Beavers’ first team today, I still feel that the back end of the secondary is still very much in flux with Dwayne Williams, David Morris, and Isaiah Dunn not fully at 100 percent and not partaking in 11-on-11 work. All three guys’ lingering bumps and bruises aren’t expected to keep them out very long and when they re-enter the fold full time in the coming practices, it will be interesting to see how the secondary comes together before Ohio State.
- Speaking of the secondary, Kaleb Hayes is a guy who is consistently in the right place at the right time on the field. While he hasn’t ran with the 1st unit a ton, when he has he’s made the most of his reps. His ability to be physical on the edges with receivers while also having the mental awareness needed to make a tackle in space makes him one of OSU’s most fundamentally sound cornerbacks. Very rarely do you see Hayes make a mistake on the field and that’s big props to a redshirt-freshman.
- Former Oregon State quarterback Matt Moore was on hand for practice today as he met with the team post-practice to deliver a speech while also catching up with a bunch of his former coaches and support staff. Moore spent most of his day watching the quarterbacks while catching up with now offensive consultant Mike Riley. P.S. Moore still looks like he could suit up for an NFL team.
