More on Friday's Scrimmage

From Planet Blacksburg, they include some great soundbytes and some good info. Enjoy and here is an exerpt (talking about Ju-Ju's performance):

Clayton was the first of the two vying for the backup role to take snaps. Unfortunately for him, it was against the first team defense.

"I need a lot more reps to be where I want to be. My first series was shaky but as the scrimmage went along, I got more comfortable." In Clayton's first series he was met in the backfield by defensive end John Graves on one play and threw an interception to Kam Chancellor on another. He did indeed settle down though and settled down nicely for the remainder of the scrimmage. Clayton completed five of twelve passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. He also displayed good pocket presence and a great patience in checking down his receivers as well.

Spring News

Because no news is sometimes worse than any news, here is an update from Planet Blacksburg on the spring practices. An exerpt:

Another major point of interest to be highlighted in the spring game is the battle at tailback between last year's starter Darren Evans and the highly touted Ryan Williams, who redshirted his first season.

"I bring a lot of versatility to the game," Williams said.

Williams said the redshirt season last year was great preparation for himself as a player.

"I feel like I'm a lot more prepared mentally and physically also. I was 196 coming in last year, now I weigh 213. I feel like, with all that being said, I'm ready," said Williams.

In response to the pressure of playing with such high expectations, Williams said he relishes it.

"Well I love it. I love it. I mean, I can't get enough of it just because there's people that put you up there and a lot of em' feel like your not gonna meet the expectations. I like being put there and going higher than the expectations."
