Dropped passes

"Robert", you ask, "what is the thing at this Camp Rantoul that will haunt your dreams the next three weeks?" Easy. Dropped passes.

At one point this afternoon, there were three dropped passes on three consecutive plays. One tight end, one scholarship wide receiver, one walkon wide receiver. O'Toole put all three passes on the money, and drop drop drop.

It's been a consistent theme for both squads. Passes that are there but aren't being hauled in. It's still early, and many of the drops are from third string guys, but it's a concern. We MUST find a rotation of 4 or 5 receivers who will gain separation and catch the ball.
